MIDI?

Which software is recommended for creating MIDI files? I would use Modplug Tracker, which is free software, but Commons provides no way to upload .mod, .s3m, .xm, or .it files. --Damian Yerrick (☎) 23:01, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

There was a software that was able to check in which pages of all Wikis a certain image is being used. Could someone show me how to find this software? Why is it not listed at this page? Thanks! --Tonyjeff 11:09, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

  • On the page of each image, try clicking the tab that says "check usage". Is that what you mean? - gobeirne 19:25, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

GIMP + jpegpixi

I made a Python-Fu script to use GIMP as a GUI to run jpegpixi: User:AVRS/gimp-jpegpixi.py. Note that it gets only the file name and the coordinates from GIMP, not the image data, so any unsaved changes are ignored; also it requires that grid has offset 0x0 and cells 8x8, and sets them to that if they are not, but requires a restart of the script (please tell me if that’s bad). Tested with GIMP 2.8. Disclaimer+: it is one of my first Python scripts. --AVRS (talk) 19:06, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Microsoft Image Composite Editor

The license for Microsoft Image Composite Editor says "You may not use [...] this Software [...] for commercial purposes. Examples of commercial purposes would be [...] using the Software in the creation [...] of commercial products or any other activity which purpose is to procure a commercial gain to you or others." This may imply that the resulting images cannot be used for any commercial purposes. Considering that Commons:Licensing does not accept images licensed for non-commercial use only, should we remove this program from the list of recommended software? If yes, we should also decide what we should do about the images in the Category:Created with Microsoft Image Composite Editor category. Razvan Socol (talk) 17:22, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

I don't think that's necessary. I doubt that many of our users are contributing here for the "purpose [of] procuring a commercial gain." --Philosopher Let us reason together. 09:47, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

Libre office

When I try to insert .ogg files into Libre office impress, libre office gives an error message, something like "internal format not supported". I can play the music files (such as File:La Cumparsita (tango).ogg) on my W10 laptop.

Suggestions anyone? Teun Spaans 18:44, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

I think darktable should be included in the list of recommended "5-stars" as it is the most active open-source raw photograph editor. It is the OSS alternative to Lightroom, which is complementary to GIMP/Photoshop. --Trougnouf (talk) 10:59, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

I agree with this. Darktable is a more straightforward way to editing raw images. It also supports batch image processing. --JETH888 talk 08:40, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
I was just thinking the same. And unlike e.g. Dia it's in active development. El Grafo (talk) 11:43, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

Spek

This software is libre, cross-platform, and useful for creating simple audio spectrographs. Not very complicated but not very flexible either. Arlo James Barnes 01:13, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
