I just released a new version of nbRsync, a rsync GUI.
It's mostly about dependency updates such as #netbeans 27, #jdk & #javafx 25.

Enjoy!

Here is a fresh release of nbRsync, a #gui for #rsync written in #java and #javafx atop the #netbeans platform.

Available as #appimage, #snap, platform zips with and without a bundled #jdk 24 from github.com/trixon/nbRsy...

Nice work, this would be useful right now. I like the options clear and select all.

Dirk Lemmermann @dlemmermann.bsky.social · Feb 19

We have added a nice new control called SelectionBox to #GemsFX. Highly configurable and compatible to the default Modena look and feel. #JavaFX github.com/dlsc-softwar...

I just created my first #collage with the #java based #pixollage. 🍏

$ pixollage-cli --border-color '#333333' --width 1200 --height 900 --out out.png test1

Now it's time to start thinking of the collage format and algorithms.

In order to speed up the development I decided do a separate library with a CLI and for that I use #picocli, a simple yet powerful framework for creating #java command line applications. picocli.info

Cache management is now in place, thanks to #NetBeans "Places". bits.netbeans.org/dev/javadoc/...

Patrik Karlström @trixon.se · Jan 25

Now with most of the plumbing done, including photo import by dialog and drag & drop, lets start doing fun stuff with the photo.

...like building an image cache of thumbnails. 📸

Patrik Karlström @trixon.se · Jan 25

The document life cycle in #pixollage is now hopefully finished. 🤞

Patrik Karlström @trixon.se · Jan 4

#pixollage now has a kind of 'Preview Canvas' that respects the aspect ratio and border color (background color without pictures).

A collage resides in a #netbeans TopComponent/internal window that is part of the Window System API.

I just added a properties dialog in #pixollage.

It's based on the #NetBeans Dialogs API & its GUI Builder Matisse.

Patrik Karlström @trixon.se · Jan 2

Using the #netbeans platform saves me a lot of time. I just started exploring context sensitive menu items (actions) that gets enabled when a collage document is in focus.

It works really well, and it has magic for Save & Save All too.

Patrik Karlström @trixon.se · Jan 1

This might become a long thread, or not, about the creation of #pixollage, a collage creator written in #java atop the #netbeans platform.

Don't expect it to be useful during 2025. 🙃

Apache NetBeans is the only IDE I use. I know it is less popular than a few others, but it somehow feels as it respects me as a developer. That's something I miss in other IDE's, which often give me a feeling of "Trust me, I know (better than you) what you want to do".

Thanks, I just noticed that it works when starting the application from a terminal, but not from the NetBeans IDE.
I'll investigate further.
Once again, thanks.

Patrik Karlström @trixon.se · Dec 19

They use nbm-maven-plugin, not sure where it's bound though.
When I try to run the app I get:
Could not resolve dependencies for project...Could not find artifact...

Well, clean install has served me well so far 😜

Hi @andresalmiray.com, I can't get verify to produce working #netbeans platform applications. Is verify supposed to work for them too?
