Right, I guess that tends to be the case with file managers if you try to use these features on something else than regular local files.

Select multiple files first. If you have one selected, there’s a rename dialog, with multiple there’s a regex multi rename dialog.

Ghost Commander does have batch rename. You need to select multiple files and tap F2 Rename. Dunno how to use it, but it’s there.

Im looking for the opposite, something that can keep the icon shape without changing it… But I want too much :'(

I’m not against gif in general as a format, nor for the specific use case I mentioned. (Even tho afaik webp or others can do animations and transparency too.)

But you know that when people say “gif” they really mean “short video”, and don’t know the difference. And so when they are making a short video and saving it, they see “gif” in export options and choose that, because they think that’s what it is.

A while ago I was debating with someone who was looking for an optimal way to encode gifs - as actual gif the format - of gameplay videos. Like, several minutes of HD gameplay, and they were using gif for that.

Similar problem is with PNG which people use for just about anything, like screenshots of Instagram posts.

If using more modern, better formats means killing old formats but also making the whole internet faster and me needing less storage space or not needing to go through conversion process every time, and maybe even eventually eliminating the ridiculously overcompressed or 100x recompressed or 8-bit dithered crap that are supposedly images and “gifs” these days, then I’m definitely for it.

Oh come on, every cpu in the last 15 years has hardware support for multiple simultaneous playbacks of h264 video, and in the last 10 years x265 too.

1000 gifs on a screen, yea that’s definitely not a page I ever want to see, thanks. Why the hell would I need that?

And yea sure obviously gif is efficient on bare metal cpu, because it’s a format made for 33 MHz CPU without a floating point. It was also made with a handful specific use cases in mind and specced accordingly, so it has absolutely no place in anything else than animated clipart loops. Don’t even argue, please, this is so silly.

Weird. Did you try through catbox.moe? That’s what I use to post images. I don’t have experience with animated stuff though, sorry.

This animation bugs out even when I just view it in plain browser or in jerboa, looks like a compression problem. Is that a converted gif? The artifacting looks consistent with gif compression rather than webp, so probably the software you’re using to convert it is reading it wrong. Try some of the online converters, maybe this https://cloudconvert.com/gif-to-webp (it’s what I use to convert gifs to mp4)

Nothing except that it’s a horribly obsolete, bloated, barely compressed format with removed quality that’s misused for a completely different purpose than what it’s meant for.

When I download gifs of stuff I can’t find anywhere else, I convert them to mp4. A 50 MB gif turns into a 300 kB mp4.

So… I guess that’s wrong.

Death to gif

There’s also yiffit (.net I think?) and some .uk instance, like lemmef.uk or something

No, way to tag nsfw that’s not porn.

Can we have the exact opposite?

Yes Izzy only hosts open source apps, but their policies are more lax than of F-Droid. So they can include proprietary libraries or stuff in forks that the original devs don’t want. Also Izzy takes the binaries directly, so they can’t guarantee their reproducibility like F-Droid does.

Btw other repos don’t need to even be for open source apps. Total Commander for Android has their own F-Droid repo too (although it doesn’t work atm).

You don’t need to send it, they just retrieve it from your git, they have a faq on their site. But people are saying you can package it yourself if you compile the binary according to their instructions, so I’m out of the loop anyway. Just look at their site, they ought to have the instructions.

These have been a few but I can’t find them in my blocklist, so maybe they have died.

Ah okay that’s news for me.

To publish on F-Droid, you need to publish the code. F-Droid complies their own binaries using their keys. They have a faq on their page on how to set it up.

You can also publish your binary and offer it to the IzzyOnDroid F-Droid repo. They’re less stingy with requirements, tho I believe the app still needs to be open source.

Or again with a binary, as long as it’s published on github/gitlab etc, people can add it via the Obtainium app, or just download it directly.

(I’m not a dev, so don’t know much more details.)

They should be in your profile. If they’re not, maybe they got deleted or your instance has some issue.

I dunno. The way it works for my old phone, is that it listens for a while, then goes into “processing” and then outputs the text. Faster phones should work on the fly, but I really don’t know anything else.

In the app there’s a field to test, so try that I guess.
