A light-weight application suite
The advent of low-power tech devices is inevitable. The use of linux on such devices is also inevitable. However, with most of the applications actively catering to
the most powerful of the personal devices, the number of common applications which are built to work on these low end devices is quite less. This leaves the likes of
R-Pi running a malnourished UI with bad looks, or having only high end devices running linux OS like Ubuntu Touch. With the likes of KDE and GNOME taking top spots on
high end laptops, we have a lot of void at the lower end. Filling in this void, is the CopreApps Application suite by CuboCore Group.
C Suite is a light-weight application suite built specifically to be very low on CPU and RAM, while at the same time have an appleaing look. CoreApps are a set of
21 applications built to cater almost all the personal needs of a common user. Read on, to know more about each of these apps.
CoreAction
A gadget bar that holds some very useful and nifty widgets like system loads, calendar, calculator, notes, etc
CoreArchiver
There are not many light-weight archiving solutions based on Qt. CoreArchiver is an extremely simple archiving/de-archiving solution built using Qt, based on the
libarchive-qt library.
CoreStuff
A minimal desktop shell that provides a simple desktop background widget, along with a simple panel containing a system tray. This is intended to be used with a window
manager like compiz/kwin to achieve a simple, functional, and a beautiful desktop. This is still a work in progress and much is not yet developed.
CoreFM
A feature rich file-manager is one of the most essential for any user. This is one of the gateways into the file management. CoreFM is built to cater to the need for a
beautiful looking, yet light-weight file-manager. With many features like image previews, mime-icon support, split view, auto-mounting of removalbe media, drag-n-drop
support, etc, CoreFM is one of the rare file managers which is lighting fast.
CoreGarage
CoreGarage as the name suggests is the dentralized settings manager for the CoreApps Application Suite. While all the apps run off-the-shelf withot having to use
CoreGarage, a few tweaks will never go amiss. With CoreGarage, we can make some nice tweaks which ensure the smooth working of all the applications on both touch and
traditional displays.
CoreHunt
A powerful file-search application never goes to waste. CoreHunt is a fast file search program built to cater the needs of CoreApps users. With categorized search and
search history, CoreHunt is a nice and a useful addition to CoreApps application suite.
CoreImage
While there is no dearth of image viewers in the world of Qt, another light-weight image viewer will not be a burden. Built for speed, CoreImage can show all the image
formats supported by Qt. In addition to image viewing, it can even rotate and resize images.
CoreInfo
This is the media metadata viewer for CoreApps. Built on top of the powerful mediainfo library, we show all the possible information about a media file that can be
shown.
CoreKeyboard
Working on touch devices is never easy unless you have a virtual keyboard application. CoreKeyboard is an X11 based virtual keyboard, one of the only two built using
Qt (the other being kvkbd). Despite being built using Qt, CoreKeyboard works on all DEs, platforms and all text entry widgets.
CorePad
CorePad is a small but powerful text-editor with syntax-highlighting support for a dozen or more languages. With a powerful SH engine based on QSyntaxHighlighter, it
renders heavy codes as large as 20k LoC and above, almost effortlessly. By default CorePad provides support for 15 common languages, namely, C, C++, CS, CSS, Desktop,
Go, Html, Java, JS, MD, PHP, Python, sh, and XML, and it is very easy to extend support for other languages.
CorePaint
CorePaint is a simple bitmap painting software to produce very simple graphics. CorePaint began its simple life as a rebrand of ,
slightly modified to meet the needs of CoreApps and efforts are underway to rebuild it from scratch.
CorePDF
CorePDF is a pdf viewer application built on top of pdfjs embedded into QWebEngineView. Currently it's little more than a proof-of-concept for embedding pdfjs into Qt.
This application is in its early developmental stages.
CorePins
Bookmarks provide an efficient way to access important files and folders in an operating system. CorePins provides a centralized bookmarks managerment system for the
CoreApps Application Suite. With CorePins one can view bookmarks made using any of the CoreApps, and also modify and delete them effortlessly.
CorePlayer
Every application suite needs a nice multimedia player. CorePlayer is our experiment to build a very simple media player based on QtAV. It is currently just a rebrand
of QtAV's example player, and needs much work for it to come to scratch.
CoreRenamer
A simple batch-renaming application for CoreApps Application Suite. This is a handy tool for people who have to regularly handle a large number of tools.
CoreShot
CoreShot a simple app that can capture images of the screen. It can capture the whole screen, a specified region, an individual window, or only part of a window.
CoreStats
CoreStats is a system statistics viewer. You can monitor the CPU, RAM, Network and Disk IO statistics fom here. It is also possible to view the device info, and mount
or unmount removable devices, view battery statistics, and get information about the display.
CoreTerminal
A terminal emulator is a must for each and every linux user. And yet, there seems to be a dearth of Qt based terminals. Only with the introduction of libqtermwidget,
the possibility of a Qt terminal apart fron the bulky Konsole opened up. CoreTerminal is our take on QTermWidget based terminal emulator.
CoreTime
CoreTime is a very simple Clock/Calendar application which shows a clock, supports alarms, sports a stop watch and a timer.
CoreUniverse
A place where you can get all the information about C Suite and CuboCore stuff.
