Well, I almost finish the FBCMD grabber. There's a small issue: you have to select /tmp/facebook as the source folder. Can this be set as default? or Is there a better way to achieve this?

It can't be set as default but if you set the options from the gui you can run the grabber with only:

avatar-factory -g fbcmd

Maybe a more correct but complicated way to do it from the user perspective is to remove the following from grabber_secondary_options:

if [ ! -e "/tmp/facebook" ]; then
	fbcmd PPICS =all /tmp/facebook "-pf=[tid]-[tname].jpg" -ppsize=1
fi

You first run:

fbcmd PPICS =all some-folder "-pf=[tid]-[tname].jpg"

And then:

avatar-factory -g fbcmd some-folder destination

This way is more configurable.
I think that the tmp folder content gets deleted with every restart.
You can add an alias to ~/.bashrc

alias avatar-factory-fbcmd='fbcmd PPICS =all /tmp/facebook "-pf=[tid]-[tname].jpg" -ppsize=1 && avatar-factory -g fbcmd some-folder destination'

And run it with:

avatar-factory-fbcmd

But it is your choice...

Or how can I include the source folder as a variable in my grabber? So a user just have to run one command

It is: $SOURCE_input

But there is a problem. If you run fbcmd in grabber_secondary_options there will be nothing to process since that function is executed after the list of items get generated. That means that avatar-factory will try to get all the pics from the specified folder but it will be empty.

If you put fbcmd in grabber_primary_options there will be no imput folder since the options are generally specified in this order:
avatar-factory -g grabber source destination
You could try:
avatar-factory source -g grabber destination
I don't know if it will work.

The problem with drag and drop has been fixed. If you don't want to wait the following should work:

sudo gedit $(which avatar-factory)

Line 229 should be:

DND[$((++num))]=$1

Change it to:

DND+=("$1")

Thats all.

Thx i'll try

Hello, I learned some new tricks and made a new application:

Enjoy!

Cool!

I think you should open a new thread to attract more testers. The only thing which is not clear to me is what is supposed to be working and what not. Maybe if you publish a changelog or something like that, it will be easier to help you testing.

I think you should open a new thread to attract more testers.

The problem is that I will have to keep that thread updated with every new version in addition to the blog. Anyway I'm not sure about this, I will give it a little more time.
Bugs can be reported in launchpad or by commenting on the blog.

The only thing which is not clear to me is what is supposed to be working and what not.

When you open figuritas there is a link to the help page, you can read that to have an idea.
I have to add there how to set custom icons which is pretty easy:
1. Click on a movie or a director, character, etc... a new tab should open.
2. Click on the corresponding icon to open the icon selector.
3. Select an icon.

Maybe if you publish a changelog or something like that, it will be easier to help you testing.

There is no changelog because it is the first version, I will add one with the next release.
