Hello.
I write with a small offer to KDE. I know that KDE prefer Qt's implementation
and nothing covered by Qt should be in KDE. I know, I know. But the following
thing is partially covered by Qt...
I'd like to have ability in Spectacle to save screen recordings in GIF. I have
my own application for GIF recordings/editing. On Linux at this time X11
supported only. I wait for refuse of KDE from X11 for Wayland support.
Ok. What I have? I have a small library for reading/writing GIF with its own
quantization algorithm. Not the best quality, but quality/performance
approximately one of the best.
Repository of the library - https://github.com/igormironchik/qgiflib
Repository of the applications - https://github.com/igormironchik/gif-tools
Binaries for openSUSE Tumbleweed:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:imironchik/gif-tools
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/imironchik/my/
It would be great to have a possibility in Spectacle to save recordings in GIF
format, and my library can help with it. I'd be happy to start incubation in
KDE for this library if authors of Spectacle would like to use it.
Please think on wy words.
Thank you.
