NAME

WMGRABIMGAE - Dockable WWW Image monitor.

SYNOPSIS

wmGrabImage [-h] [-display <Display>] -url <Image URL> [-http <URL>] [-c] [-delay <Time>]

DESCRIPTION

wmGrabImage is a WindowMaker DockApp that maintains a small thumbnail copy of your favorite image from the WWW. The image to monitor is specified via the "-url <Image URL>" command-line option and it gets updated approximately every 5 minutes. The update interval can be overridden via the "-delay <Time>" command-line option (Time is in seconds). Each of the three mouse buttons can be double clicked with the following effects;

Left Mouse:

Brings up the full-sized image in xv.

Middle Mouse:

Sends a URL (specified via the -http <URL> command-line option) to an already running netscape process or in a new netscape process if there arent any running.

Right Mouse:

Updates the image immediately.

OPTIONS

-h

Display list of command-line options.

-display [display]

Use an alternate X Display.

-url <Image URL>

The URL of the WWW image to monitor.

-http <URL>

The URL to send to netscape via a Middle double click.

-c

Center the image vertically within the icon.

-delay <Time>

The time between updates. The default is about 5 minutes.

FILES

The original sized image and the thumbnail XPM image are both stored in ~/.wmGrabImage/ which gets created if it doesnt already exist.

SEE ALSO

wget and the ImageMagick convert utility.

BUGS

Who knows? -- its still Beta though. (Let me know if you find any). Oldish versions of the ImageMagick convert utility have a memory leak -- if you have that problem, upgrade to the latest version.
