New installation of sid couldn't find nautilus-image-converter in the repo?

That package has been auto-decrufted from Debian:

https://ftp-master.debian.org/removals.txt

Next time use https://tracker.debian.org/ to check package availability or run

Code: Select all

rmadison $package
Replace $package with the actual name of the package to be checked. EDIT: supplied by the devscripts package.

Thanks. Have sent the following message to the package developer(s):

to nautilus-image-converter

We have been heavy users of nautilus-image-converter for many years. This is one of the best features of nautilus. Please add it back to the testing/sid repositories. Thanks a whole lot. (The attached screenshot has been resized to 50% * 50% = 25%, very convenient.)

Your time would have been better spent reading my link:

RoQA; unmaintained, doesn't work with nautilus 43

Also closing WNPP bug(s): 852386
So your pathetic pleas will avail you nought.

If you want the extension then pay some programmers to add it for you. The Nautilus devs might not agree with the submissions though and even if they did it almost certainly wouldn't make it into Debian 12.

We are now using gThumb to do the image resizing. Not as convenient, but definitely more versatile. Just hope the nautilus-image-converter package will be picked up again and put back to sid.

The image resizing feature has been put back to Nautilus in Sid. Small thing but means a lot to us.

Many thanks to Gnome/Debian developers!
