There is no simple program, to my knowledge, that lets you record an instrument, send it to an online database and let others record their instrument over it.
when you take a picture with the "cheese" application (Application --> Sound & Video --> Cheese Webcam Booth) it shows a little miniature version of the picture in an area under the "Take a Picture"-button.
when I right click on one of those miniature pictures with the right mouse button, the context menu that appears only offers a few options: Open, Save as..., Move to Trash.
I'd love to have the option for browsing the folder the picture was saved in, i.e. "Open directory".
In that way I would no longer have to separately open a folder and navigate to the /home/*username*/Pictures/Webcam folder every time I want to edit/move the file.
Thanks & bye-bye...
by the way: the context menu could probably use a hand full of other features as well...
Integration between cheese application and Google voice (which is currently available only in windows, I guess its an open source code - so it shouldn't be a problem for GNU/Linux dev team).
Cheese is a Photobooth-inspired GNOME application for taking pictures and videos from a webcam. It also includes fancy graphical effects based on the gstreamer-backend.
I know this is a Gnome upstream wish.. but also that this is a good place to spread an idea.
Is there a huge difference in using Screenshot instead of recording your desktop with "Istanbul"?
And between recording a video with your webcam with "Cheese" and grabbing audio from your mic with "Sound recorder"?
Can you now manage the output files in all those gnome programs as you wish?
NO.
So, let's build a software using the existing code that fill full the requests of today's users..
I image a place where i can
- take pictures, record audio and/or video of my desktop
- take pictures, record audio and/or video from my webcam and/or my mic
- configure output file proprieties (.avi/.ogg, bitrate, resolution..)
- easily
Do you think my idea of a "Recording center" is not meaningful? That now those gnome programs are serving us well? Well, I don't think so.
Currently, cheese is a little anemic compared to other photobooth software. I'm not to sure how cheese is structured, but I believe it should be possible to create a simple platform to allow users to create their own effects, and to share them in a social manner.
Since the Fast User Switcher Applet is heading in the direction of being a more general purpose User Applet, it would be nice to integrate Cheese webcam captures to let you update your account photo.
Cheese should have a face recognition feature that only takes a photo when:
1) Nobody is blinking
2) Everyone is smiling
The Samsung omnia smartphones (which are only 600mhz) already do this, and apparently it works quite well. Face recognition could then later be used in other libraries.
And this would make profile pictures and such closer to "one-touch". It also helps polish linux to the point it doesn't demand user for feedback to operate, instead it is able to identify in these cases when the photo is bad, and delay the photo until it is good.
