Nokia808 commented 4 years ago

Hi dear. 1st of all I would to say thank you for making this great program available for Linux users as flatpak package .... 2md I would like to congratulate you for success in merging your PR here ....

Dear, this program unfortunately his developer kill it by refuse to add new features to it. And as you know last stable release for this program is dated to 2011 ! From my previous contact with developer, I know that there is newer version but he did not release it !! Also, I asked him to add few new features (or in fact just enhancements) for already existing features but he said: I'm stop from adding new features to it .... The developer ready to receive new features from other peoples who push them as PR to this program ...... Unfortunately, no one interested in further development for this program & most of those I asked answer me: "because this is a java program ......."

So, I would asking you: do you think to add new features to this program to make it complete ?

In fact all what needed are: 1) making user able to determine watermark to be added on:

Just by adding these new features (or in fact just enhancements) we will have almost complete program ..... I can not understand why developer of this program kill it ??!!!

Can you add these few tweaks ? The developer will accept PR from you ......

Hi @Nokia808, I talked with the developer and he allows me to release a 1:1 version here. I know that is an awesome software and, sadly, the original developer has stopped its development. But I'm not a Java developer :(. I expect that a bigger publicization of this software in Flathub will call the attention of others developers to this code. That said, any improvement to this software will probabily be a fork of the original and so ... will need another package at Flathub.

@felipehw Thank you too much for response. There is no problem in creating new flatpak package. The problem is that no one accept to fork it just for being a Java !! It is not a security or anonymity program to be afraid from Java ! Moreover, a very strong security & privacy & anonymity application are Jave. Most dramatic example is i2p project ......

I will try to contact developer asking to pay for him to add the enhancement but I'm nearly sure he will refuse ......
