I was unclear. I followed your advice, searching for basket, and found that the two things I had tried didn't work, because the name of it is basket-trinity. Did the usual using that as the package name and there it was! | Worse case you can always build from source. The source should be in | the tde git repository (wherever that is today...)

I have, later today, to cobble together an excellent little photo metadata editor called Photini, which has hoops lined up like Torii gates in Kyoto, and I have to go through all of them. You would think there would be several good such applications, but this is the only one that does an actual good job. So I'm glad not to have to compile anything else for now. Am actually kind of amazed at how well it has gone thusfar. Really puzzled, though, that while the drives are the same, and in the same physical locations, connectors, etc., but what was once sda1, my boot drive, is now sdb1, my boot drive. Which I discovered when I went to mount sdb1, which is 8 terabytes of photographs -- pretty much an entire career. Blood pressure rose until I got it figured out. | Since you are using Debian, I'm surprised it isn't already built.

For some reason I thought it was in one of the TDE meta packages. I must have installed it separately in the distant past. -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/
