What's GifSaver?

Only an Ubuntu user knows the true pain of not able set a Live Screensaver. So the GifSaver came to save ya'all! 🎊

How to Use it?

Firstly, Install the dependency by executing following command:

sudo apt-get install xprintidle

You can either run GifSaver with Python or use a pre-compiled binary!

The script takes 2 inputs from the user as follow:

usage: GifSaver.py or GifSaver.bin [-h] -f FOLDER [-t TIMEOUT] [-c CHANGE]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -f FOLDER, --folder FOLDER
                        Path to GIF Folder
  -t TIMEOUT, --timeout TIMEOUT
                        Idle Timeout to Start Screensaver
  -c CHANGE, --change CHANGE
                        Change Image/GIF after seconds (0 = shuffle disable)

For example

python3 path/to/GifSaver.py -f path/to/folder/where/GIFs/are/stored -t 120 -c 60

or

./path/to/GifSaver.bin -f path/to/folder/where/GIFs/are/stored -t 60 -c 300

Adding to Start-up

In ubuntu, You can execute any command on start-up, so we can run our GifSaver on every boot without manually running it! Just enter above command as a new startup application!

Note: Make sure to give full path for startup command and test the command in terminal before adding!
