For those of you stuck using windows and DOS, like me, a batch file containing:

for %%x in (*.png) do convert -transparent “RGB(255,0,255)” %%x ../new/%%x

will do the trick.

Interesting script but I can’t figure it out – How to add Right Clicks on the Desktop to show – Video Card Configuration (like in windowz) , and Monitors (change the resolution and etc.)?
Do you have another ready-to-use scripts for sharing ? :)

Comment on Make Screencasts in Ubuntu with gtk-recordmydesktop by Apoq

gtk-recordMyDesktop (records video + audio) and gnome-sound-recorder (records audio) can record both the system and the microphone sound. To choose the sound to be recorded open gnome-volume-control (from ALT+F2 for example), click on Hardware, then on Profile and there choose the corresponding option, depending on what will be recorded ..:
+ sound of the system: a) Analog Stereo Output; or b) Digital Stereo Duplex (IEC958)
+ sound from the microphone: a) Analog Stereo Duplex; or b) Digital Stereo (IEC958) Output + Analog Stereo Input

In gnome-volume-control, it may be necessary to choose “Off”, close it, open it again, choose the desired option and close it again.

Some of the other options may work sometimes, but they may record sometimes the system sound and sometimes the mic sound. And other options may record audio but could not permit to listen to the recorded sound. So it’s better not to use those options.

NB: system sound is the sound of what one can hear from the speaker. It can be a .ogg or .mp3, … song played by Totem, or a Flash music video of a web site, …

But gtk-recordMyDesktop has 2 problems:
a) When you click on stop it takes a lot of time to encode the video (in xvidcap you have it in the moment you stop the recording).
b) It uses a lot of space in a folder called more or less /tmp/rMD-session-xxxx. Sometimes is deleted after the encoding but sometimes not (keeps on growing) and you have to delete it before your Linux root partition (/) gets full.

To be able to record the sound with xvidcap (from the mic or of the system) you just need to follow a few steps to install it properly:

Thanks for your post on “Moving your applications from one monitor to the next with hotkeys”! Just what I need without installing nvidia driver.

I changed my function getNumberOfMonitors() to the following line instead:-

xrandr | grep -c “*”

Now I don’t need to return to this script to change the number of monitors :)
