# PyPixl 🎥

**PyPixl** is a lightweight, open-source camera application designed for Linux window managers. Built with **PyQt5**, PyPixl provides basic photo and video capture features with plans for advanced functionality in the future.

---

## 🚧 Current Status

The current implementation of PyPixl is being rewritten from scratch using **PyQt5**. While the existing code works, it has dependency issues on certain systems (e.g., Ubuntu). This rewrite will focus on:

- Improved dependency handling.

- A cleaner and more maintainable codebase.

- Enhanced features and UI.

---

## 🛠 Planned Features (Post-Rewrite)

1. **Photo and Video Capture**:

   - Switch between available cameras.

   - Capture photos and record videos with customizable settings.

2. **Filters and Effects**:

   - Grayscale, sepia, blur, and more.

   - Real-time application of filters.

3. **Advanced Camera Controls**:

   - Brightness, contrast, saturation, and zoom settings.

4. **Image Formats**:

   - Support for saving images as PNG, JPG, etc.

5. **Custom Shortcuts**:

   - Add your own keyboard shortcuts for quick actions.

6. **Dark Mode**:

   - A modern, sleek interface for low-light environments.

7. **Voice Commands (Future)**:

   - Hands-free control using AI-powered voice commands.

---

## 🔧 Known Issues

- **Internal Data Stream Error**:

  - This error occurs on some systems due to unresolved dependency issues.

  - This will be addressed during the rewrite.

---

## 📢 Contributions Welcome

The rewrite is in progress and contributions are welcome! Feel free to open issues, suggest features, or help improve the codebase.

---

## 🌱 Development Timeline

The rewrite is scheduled to begin in **3-4 months**. Stay tuned for updates!
