Generate media

Most media files used in the HIG are generated from QML files.

The command line tool qmlgrabber is used to create media from the source files.

Source files are located in HIG/source/qml.

If you are new to KDE development, make sure to read how to become a kde developer first.

Getting Started

Install some tools with your distro's package manager:

Distribution Command

Arch, Manjaro sudo pacman -S ffmpeg Debian, Ubuntu, KDE Neon sudo apt install ffmpeg openSUSE sudo zypper install ffmpeg-4 Fedora sudo dnf install ffmpeg CentOS/RHEL sudo yum install ffmpeg

Clone qmlgrabber source code repository into an empty folder:
```
git clone https://invent.kde.org/mart/qmlgrabber.git
cd qmlgrabber
qmake PREFIX=~/.local/bin
make
make install
```
If you install it in you home directory, make sure you have the installed packages in your path by adding it to your .profile:
```
echo "PATH=~/.local/bin:\$PATH" >> ~/.profile
source ~/.profile
```

Now you are ready to create media files for the the HIG!

Change to a directory containing qml source files. E.g. cd HIG/source/qml/components/actionbutton
Run makemedia.php Actionbutton1.qml or makemedia.php . to create media files.
