To-do manager, notepad, RSS reader...
Makagiga is an open-source, easy-to-use, portable application for doing a variety of tasks, such as todo listing, text editing, or RSS reading. Plugins are used to implement its various capabilities.
Makagiga requires Java(tm) SE 6. The following platforms are currently supported: Linux (GNOME/KDE/Xfce), Windows (XP/Vista/7), Mac OS X, Solaris. You can check your current Java version online.
Note: Exit Makagiga before you start the installation.
sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre or sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre to install Java Runtime Environment (this command requires administrator password)sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk ant gettext. This will install Java Development Kit (compilator), Ant (like "make"), and Gettext Utilities (required to build language translations). You may also want to install free NetBeans IDE...sudo dpkg -i makagiga-YOUR_VERSION.deb to install (requires administrator password)sudo dpkg -r makagiga to uninstallsu -c "rpm -Uvh makagiga-YOUR_VERSION.rpm" to install (requires administrator password)su -c "rpm -e makagiga" to uninstallunzip makagiga-YOUR_VERSION.zipcd makagiga-YOUR_VERSION./run.sh./install.sh/usr/local (default prefix) directory.
To change the installation directory, use the following command: ./install.sh /my_prefix/my_apps.

Run makagiga-YOUR_VERSION.exe to install.
Use Control Panel to uninstall.
makagiga commandSince version 1.9.1 Beta you can launch Makagiga directly from a writeable and removable storage device (USB flash drive or flash card). To do this simply unzip makagiga-VERSION.zip file, then launch run-portable.exe / run-portable.bat (Windows) or run-portable.sh (Linux). All data files will be stored in the same directory where Makagiga was unzipped. If everything is OK, you should notice "[Portable]" text in the main window title.
To start with custom profile, you need to use --profile command line option,
or the MAKAGIGA_PROFILE environment variable.
Note that the "Profile Name" is a directory name,
so it cannot contain "/", "\", "." or any other illegal characters.
All profiles are stored in the user's home directory (e.g. ~/.makagiga/profiles).
Example 1: makagiga --profile "Profile Name"
Example 2: export MAKAGIGA_PROFILE="Profile Name"; makagiga
To change directory with user files, you need to use --user-files command line option,
or the MAKAGIGA_USER_FILES environment variable.
The "User Files" directory must already exist.
Example 1: makagiga --user-files "/home/foo/Makagiga"
Example 2: export MAKAGIGA_USER_FILES="/home/foo/Makagiga"; makagiga
Note: You cannot use both --profile and --user-files options.
Run makagiga --help to display this list:
--autostart Start application in minimized or hidden window
--full-screen Start application in full screen window
--portable Use this option if application is stored on a writeable and removable
storage device (USB flash drive or flash card)
--presentation Start application in full screen "presentation" mode
--profile Start with profile. Example: --profile "Profile Name"
--safe-mode Run application in safe mode
--user-files Directory with configuration and data files.
Example: --user-files "/home/foo/Makagiga"
--version Show version info and exit

Example: JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.6.0

Clarification:
The GNU Lesser General Public License or LGPL is written for
software libraries in the first place. We expressly want the LGPL to
be valid for this artwork library too.
KDE Oxygen theme icons is a special kind of software library, it is an
artwork library, it's elements can be used in a Graphical User Interface, or
GUI.
Source code, for this library means:
- where they exist, SVG;
- otherwise, if applicable, the multi-layered formats xcf or psd, or
otherwise png.
The LGPL in some sections obliges you to make the files carry
notices. With images this is in some cases impossible or hardly useful.
With this library a notice is placed at a prominent place in the directory
containing the elements. You may follow this practice.
The exception in section 6 of the GNU Lesser General Public License covers
the use of elements of this art library in a GUI.
