How to create a Dynamic bookmark-tree with Apache-FOP

Introduction
This page will eventually explain how you can dynamically generate a bookmark-tree in the PDF-documents by use of the Apache-FOP xsl/fo processor.

But before I show you the mere technicalities, you need to realize what's special in this procedure and what it means to break a paradigm. In fact, the alternative titles on this page should appeal to

[SOLVED, kind of] GIMP 2.9 fails to start due to incompatible (?) MyPaint brushes

GIMP 2.9 may fail to start due to some MyPaint brushes failing to "deserialize", whatever that means.

In order to "solve" that you don't need to get rid permanently of such brushes, which may still work fine on MyPaint itself.

Instead, move/rename the .mypaint user folder (perhaps ~/.config/mypaint to some?) to mypaint-temp or whatever, run gimp 2.9, it will start. Then go to preferences, folders, and change the mypaint-brushes folder settings, but...

soundless screen cast helper-tool

Posted 10-23-2016 at 01:21 PM by Michael Uplawski

The distribution of my very first screen cast in a local distribution network for locally produced, biological foodstuffs is the real cause for the publication of this entry.

I have no use for sound in my screen cast and when I played around with “recordMyDesktop” thought about how I should be able to type instructions in a terminal or text-editor, show manipulations in software and switch between the two, without getting lost, forgetting details or making dumb typos all the time....

Ambiance-blue seems to be a another GTK "mandatory alternative" theme for firefox

Posted 10-22-2016 at 10:43 PM by the dsc (linux-related notes)

If one doesn't hate Adwaita more than one hates not having legible tooltips, then firefox can be run as
