AnotherScrapBook (ASB) is based on the original AutoScrapbook as developed by Kirk Bauer. I discovered this fine tool in version 3.7, and, because of one little feature (the capacity to handle Films from my Canon camera), I began rewriting from ground the script from KB. By lack of fantasy, it became AnotherScrapBook (let's see if it'll stay like this, but I need to keep "ASB" as initials...).
In the mean time, KB has further developed AutoScrapbook, so you might as well have a look at it in version 4.1.
ASB in Version 4.0 is still one script
which you can easily download from the SourceForge
Files
section, rename to asb
, copy
e.g. to /usr/local/bin
and make executable with
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/asb
.
Starting with Version A.04.01.00, ASB has been splitted and can be copied
as a whole to a directory or, more elegant, use the install.sh
script to install the whole thing under /usr/local
(you probably
need to run the script as root).
You can then have your first fun with asb [some
dir]
, answer questions (comment, rotate, edit... your
pictures and MJPEG films), and have a look at the created
index.html
.
There are currently three ways to come to help:
asb --help
on the command line,install.sh
script creates two man pages:
asb(1)
and ASB::Out::Template(3pm)
.
pod2html --backlink="Top" --header --infile=${BASEDIR}/asb.pod --outfile=asb.html --title AnotherScrapBook-${Version} --verbose
and
pod2html --backlink="Top" --header --infile=${BASEDIR}/ASB/Out/Template.pm --outfile=asb_out_template.html --title ASB::Out::Template-${Version} --verbose
.I've started to think about the future of ASB and here is the result of my thoughts (as a MindMap visible with the Java Applet of FreeMind).
