How to Setup and Use PicLens
By Admin

Since it's a Mozilla Firefox Add-on, PicLens should be installed like any other add-on.
First I went to the Mozilla Firefox Addon page where I found PicLens (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5579). I clicked the download button and the confirmation window popped up immediately.

 

After I clicked on 'Install', the add-on was automatically downloaded and installed. In order to complete the installation, Mozilla Firefox had to be restarted. After restarting Firefox, PicLens appeared as a button on the upper right corner of the browser.

 

 

 

 

Once you've started the app by clicking the blue button on the upper right corner of the browser, you will be able to search for images on Google, Yahoo, Flickr, Smugmug, DeviantArt, Photobucket and many other websites by using the search engine located in the upper right corner of the program window.

 

The results will be displayed as thumbnails on a moving 'wall' which you can drag by holding down the mouse left button. Double clicking an image will maximize it. Underneath the maximized image, you'll find controls for slideshow and for moving forward and back among the selection of images. If you click the small arrow on top of the program window, you'll be taken to the webpage where the image belongs.

Unlike Ubuntu which is packaged with Gnome, for the KDE desktop that comes with Kubuntu is a little bit harder to find native clients, or clients which fit good on your desktop. However, there are a couple of clients which are accesibile: KTorrent and qBittorrent. There is another client which fits with Kubuntu, but being available only as source package makes it to be appropriate for the advanced users. If you're OK with the source code compiling, then go ahead for FatRat, otherwise, stick to the already existing clients.

Although under Linux you won't find BitTorrent clients such as uTorrent and BitComet which are popular under Windows OS, or at least you can't run them under as native binaries, however you can find very good alternatives. Since I am going to write about Ubuntu clients, thus appropriate for the Gnome desktop environment, I am not going to mention the clients which are typical for KDE. Under Gnome there are some popular clients such as Deluge, Transmission, and Azureus. However, Deluge and Azureus have Windows builds, thus for some of you, these clients might not be a brand new thing.
