Description

image filters for social media plugin A plug-in system was implemented in the last GSoC by Tim Jerman which will be released in spring 2014. This project shall add social media capability to nomacs by means of two plug-ins. The first plug-in will add a share button that allows users to sign-in at their preferred social media platform (e.g. facebook, twitter, google+). Then, share buttons appear for the respective platforms which allow for one-click image uploads. The plug-in must be implemented without using QWebkit in order to keep the dependencies as low as possible. The second plug-in adds an easy filter capability to nomacs (see image). The filter selection should render thumb images of the image currently displayed and be added to nomacs as Head-Up Display (HUD).

Benefit for the Student

The student will deepen knowledge in software and plug-in architecture. In addition, basic knowledge of image processing will be gained.

Benefit for the Project

The social media plug-in will extend nomacs to new media and allow for a simplified share workflow. Furthermore, a plug-in keeps the basic image viewer, while users can extend functionality on their demand.

Requirements

Good skills in C++, experience in writing Qt plug-ins, basic image processing knowledge.
