| ===== Office suite ===== | ===== Office suite ===== | ||
| + | * abiword/ | ||
| for example open office or libre office .. abiword is fine and so is gnumeric if you just do simple spreadsheets.. but already on the first excel-sheet that i opened had some errors in the formatting of cell borders and i was instantly missing the brush tool for copying the style of one cell to another.. that might exist somewhere but it was not where i expected it to be.. so let's just go " | for example open office or libre office .. abiword is fine and so is gnumeric if you just do simple spreadsheets.. but already on the first excel-sheet that i opened had some errors in the formatting of cell borders and i was instantly missing the brush tool for copying the style of one cell to another.. that might exist somewhere but it was not where i expected it to be.. so let's just go " | ||

| - | well i gave up on that one.. it just messed up my whole desktop.. the filemenager obviously does far too much to simply replace it.. so i decided to live with thunar which is pretty okay, i only miss the bookmark feature which is located in a separate application called gigolo and thus a little less comfortable to operate | + | well i gave up on that one.. it just messed up my whole desktop.. the filemenager obviously does far too much to simply replace it.. so i decided to live with thunar which is pretty okay, i only miss the bookmark feature which is located in a separate application called gigolo and thus a little less comfortable to operate. |
| + | ==== Living with Thunar ==== | ||
| + | in order to overcome the missing bookmark feature i started to use gigolo. i select the mount at startup option on all bookmarks that i enter there and i created a symbolic link in my user home directory < | ||
| + | ln -s .gvfs/ Shares</ | ||
| + | so now i can see all my bookmarks in a subfolder called Shares in my user home.. that works fine for me | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Image Viewer ===== | ||
| + | * ristretto -> gpicview | ||
| + | the standard image viewer of xubuntu is missing an important feature imho .. you can not double click an image in a directory and then simply hit next to see the next one.. that is annyoing.. so i removed ristretto and installed gpicview which does all that and more.. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== movie player ===== | ||
| + | * parole -> totem | ||
| + | the main problemw with parole is that it does not keep the aspect ratio when resizing the window.. parole worked so well in ubuntu that i decided to use this as my primary media player.. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Text editor: leafpad/ | ||
| + | choosing the right text editor seems to be a little bit of a regligious thing in linux :) i got used to gedit and therefore am not satisfied with the limited functionality that leafpad (default in xubuntu) provides.. so i [[change_default_text_editor_in_xubuntu|switched to gedit]] instead | ||
