Its README describes a deliberately focused Unix-style tool that does one image-conversion job and supports stdin/stdout pipelines. ### Project history The public repository was created in April 2023. Early releases built out the CLI, theme support, batch image processing, CIELAB DeltaE method selection, and later an interactive TUI for choosing files, palettes, variations, and output names. ### Adoption history dipc's official README documents Cargo, Homebrew, Nix, source, and community AUR installation paths. That spread is typical of small Rust CLIs: Cargo provides the language-native channel, while Homebrew and Nix make it easier to include in desktop image and wallpaper workflows. ### How it is used Users pass a built-in palette name, a JSON theme path, or inline JSON plus one or more image files. The README shows directory conversion, multiple input images, output renaming, style selection, DeltaE method selection, TUI mode, and pipelines such as screenshot capture into dipc and then into another image tool. ### Why package nerds care dipc is a compact example of theme-culture packaging: color schemes such as Catppuccin, Dracula, Gruvbox, Nord, Rose Pine, Solarized, and Tokyo Night become a command-line image-processing interface. It is interesting less as a huge ecosystem package and more as a modern desktop-customization CLI with multiple package-manager entry points. ### Timeline - 2023: Public GitHub repository created. - 2023: v1.0.0 release adds a rewritten CLI, user-provided themes, batch processing, and DeltaE options. - 2025: v1.1.0 release adds stdin/stdout support and Nix flake improvements. - 2025: v1.2.0 release adds an interactive TUI. ### Related projects - dipc's practical neighborhood is the color-theme ecosystem and image-processing pipelines rather than one direct upstream project. Its README names built-in palettes including Catppuccin, Dracula, Everforest, Gruvbox, Kanagawa, Nord, Rose Pine, Solarized, and Tokyo Night. ### Sources - - - ## Security Notes broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. - **Geiger risk:** blue / medium - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** dipc - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Nix - dipc: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/di/dipc/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Secret-risk packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [rust](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/rust/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [apngasm](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/apngasm/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, image-processing, media. - [caire](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/caire/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, image-processing, media. - [epsilon](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/epsilon/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, image-processing, media. - [exact-image](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/exact-image/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, image-processing, media. - [exiftran](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/exiftran/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, image-processing, media. - [faceprints](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/faceprints/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, image-processing, media. - [giflib](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/giflib/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, image-processing, media. - [gifsicle](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gifsicle/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, image-processing, media. - [gowall](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gowall/) - Both packages work with overlapping file formats or content types.
