I don't want to annotate an image with a CLI, and neither do you. And a CLI is the worst UI possible for a visual task like editing an image. Apple figured this out 38 years ago with MacPaint.
- beepbooptheory 5y agoMaybe not a single image, for some ephemeral task I guess, I was more just responding to the gp: >Convert pdf to png. Assemble multiple images into a pdf. Quickly share with someone else over chat. Normal productivity stuff. But I don't really know what to say: I very much do prefer the cli! Even if it takes some trial and error, finding the right script that does exactly what you want gives you a reproducible and concise record of your alterations, so if you are in a position where you need to make, say, 100 images with similar annotations, possibly from a csv file or something, you can just do it! Also, it's lightweight, it's a comprehensible process, you know exactly what you are doing, rather than in some alienated userspace where you can never be sure. I won't argue anyone "wants to", but I know what I want I think! Pinta [1] is a lightweight MS Paint type program with broad support and a BSD license. It just works. 1. https://www.pinta-project.com/ https://www.pinta-project.com/
