✨ NAME ✨

Kamerka β€” take photos using your webcam and shiny animated QML interface πŸ“Έβœ¨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

kamerka [Qt-options] [KDE-options]

that's it. that's the whole invocation. slay.

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

Kamerka version 0.8.1 β€” putting that front and center because she's proud of it πŸ’œ

Simple photo taking application with fancy animated interface. like, genuinely simple, and genuinely fancy. both. at once. main character energy fr fr πŸ”₯


πŸŽ€ Configuration options:

so here's the tea: you can use the kamerkarc file β€” usually chilling in the ~/.kde/share/config directory β€” in order to set up the device node for your webcam and the resolution of the video stream. that's what the config file is for, bestie 🫢

Example file with default config:

[Video]

node=/dev/video0

width=640

height=480
and here's the important part πŸ‘‘ β€” if some option (or even the whole entire file) is not present, then default values are used, as seen in the example config above. so like, no file? no drama. defaults carry you. πŸ’…

You can access those settings from the user interface too, so if editing files by hand isn't your vibe you're so valid for that πŸ™ˆ

here's the full menu, no skips, no cap:

  • --help β€” Show help about options. the classic. the starter pack.
  • --help-qt β€” Show Qt specific options. for when you need the Qt-flavored help ✨
