Sent-to-fax program

Post by syscon780 »

Is there any program in LxDe similar to KDE-3.5 Srint-to-fax?

KDEprint package was removed from KDE4 so I'm looking for an alternative to KDE4 bloatware.
Send-to-Fax is just a wrap that utilizes postscript viewer and sendfax

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/sendfax -D -n -T 4 -h %server %res %time_a -x %enterprise -c %comment -f %email -d %name@%number %files
since using command line is not very efficient, I'm looking for an alternative GUI wrap.

I've installed LxDe and it looks nice and practical to me.

Since what you need to do can be done with a simple command line, it's not needed to write a program for this.
Please take a look at 'zenity'. This is the right tool for you.
http://library.gnome.org/users/zenity/stable/
Use zenity to choose the file you want with GUI, and then, pass its returned value to a command line.
Then, save this to a small script.

You'll have a minimal GUI tool for this.

Cheers!
