You can choose whether the program should remember the choice you make +every time it runs. This fixes bug #376020. + +Fixed bug #484432: error in adding job codes via the preferences dialog. + +Fixed bug #486886: Job code prompt can appear multiple times. + +Updated Hungarian and French translations. + + +Version 0.1.0 beta 1 +-------------------- + +2009-11-14 + +This code is ready for full release, but given the magnitude of changes, a beta +seems like a good idea, simply to catch any undetected bugs. + +Added a "Job codes" option. Like the "text" option in image and subfolder name +generation, this allows you to specify text that will be placed into the file +and subfolder names. However, unlike the "text" option, which requires that the +text be directly entered via the program preferences, when using the "Job code" +option, the program will prompt for it each time a download begins. + +Made Download button the default button. Hitting enter while the main window +has focus will now start the download. + +Fixed bug #387002: added dependency in Ubuntu packages for librsvg2-common. +Thanks go to user hasp for this fix. + +Fixed bug #478620: problem with corrupted image files. Thanks go to user Katrin +Krieger for tracking this one down. + +Fixed bug #479424: some camera model names do not have numbers, but it still +makes sense to return a shortened name. Thanks go to user Wesley Harp for +highlighting this problem. + +Fixed bug #482831: program no longer crashes when auto-download is off, and a +device is inserted before another download has completed. + +Added Czech translation by Tomas Novak. + +Added French translation by Julien Valroff, Michel Ange, and Cenwen. + +Added Hungarian translation by Balazs Oveges and Andras Lorincz. + +Added Slovak translation by Tomas Novak. + +Added Swedish translation by Ulf Urden and Michal Predotka. + +Added dependency on gnome-icon-theme in Ubuntu packages. + +Added additional hour, minute and second options in image renaming and subfolder +creation. Thanks to Art Zemon for the patch. + +Malformed image date time exif values have are minimally checked to see if they +can still be used for subfolder and image renaming. Some software programs seem +to make a mess of them. + +Updated man page, including a bug fix by Julien Valroff. + + +Version 0.0.10 +-------------- + +2009-06-05 + +Updated Russian translation by Sergei Sedov. + +Fixed bug #383028: program would crash when using an automatically configured +backup device and gvfs. + + + +Version 0.0.9 +------------- + +2009-06-02 + +Added Italian translation by Marco Solari and Luca Reverberi. + +Added German translation by Martin Egger and Daniel Passler. + +Added Russian translation by Sergei Sedov. + +Added Finnish translation by Mikko Ruohola. + +A Help button has been added to Preferences dialog window. Clicking it takes you +to the documentation found online at the program's website. This documentation +is now complete. + +The Preferences Dialog Window is now navigated using a list control, as it was +in early versions of the program. This change was necesseary because with some +translations, the dialog window was becoming too wide with the normal tab +layout. Usability of the preferences dialog is improved: it will now resize +itself based on its content. + +Better integration with Nautilus is now possible through the setting of +MimeType=x-content/image-dcf in the program's .desktop file. + + + +Version 0.0.9 beta 4 +-------------------- + +2009-05-26 + +Added Spanish translation by Jose Luis Navarro and Abel O'Rian. + +Whenever subfolder preferences are modified in the Preferences Dialog window, +they are now checked to see if they contain any extraneous entries. If +necessary, any entries like this are removed when the dialog window is closed. + +Bug fix: Changes in preferences should be applied to devices that have already +been scanned, but their images not yet downloaded. This bug was introduced in +beta 2 when fixing bug #368098. + +Bug fix: check subfolder preferences for validity before beginning download. +While image rename preferences were checked, this check was neglected. + +Bug fix: do not allow automatic downloading when there is an error in the +preferences. + + + +Version 0.0.9 beta 3 +-------------------- + +2009-05-25 + +Added command line options for controlling verbosity, displaying which image +file types are recognized, and printing the program version. + +Updated man page to reflect recent program changes and new command line options. + +Prepared program for translation into other languages. Thanks go to Mark Mruss +and his blog http://www.learningpython.com for code examples and explanations. + +Polish translation by Michal Predotka. Coming soon: French, German and +Spanish translations. + +To install the program using python setup.py, the program msgfmt must now be +present. On most Linux distributions, this is found in the package gettext. + +Updated INSTALL file to reflect minimum version of pyexiv2 needed, and included +information about handling any error related to msgfmt not being installed. + +Minor fixes to logic that checks whether the Download button should be disabled +or not. This should now be more reliable. + +Bug fix: error log window can now be reopened after being closed with the "x" +button. Thanks go to ESR and his Python FAQ entry for this fix. + +Bug fix: example of subfolder name now has word wrap. Thanks go to Michal +Predotka for reporting this. + +Bug fix: don't crash when a thumbnail image is missing and the 'orientation' +variable has not yet been assigned. + + + +Version 0.0.9 beta 2 +-------------------- + +2009-05-12 + +By popular demand, allow direct downloading from cameras. This support is +experimental and may not work with your camera. This is possible through the use +of the new gvfs service, provided by GIO, that exists in recent versions of +Linux. A recent version of Linux is a must. The camera must also be supported by +libgphoto2 in combination with gvfs. If you cannot browse the camera's contents +in a file manager (e.g. Nautilus), the camera download will not work until the +gvfs support is improved. + +Although this is a popular request, the reality is that downloading images +directly from the camera is often extremely slow in comparison to popping the +memory card into a card reader and downloading from that. + +Fix bug #368098: the program now starts more quickly and does not become +unresponsive when scanning devices with a large number of images. This will +hardly be noticeable by users that download from memory cards, but for those +who download from hard drives with hundreds of GBs of files -- they'll notice +a big difference. + +Fix bug #372284: for image renaming, the "image number" component is more +robust. Now, only the series of digits at the end of a filename are recognized +as the image number (obviously the file's extension is not included as being +part of the filename in this case). This allows takes in account files from +cameras like the Canon 1D series, which can have filenames like VD1D7574.CR2. + +Bug fix: don't download from volumes mounted while the program is already +running unless auto detection is specified. This bug could occur when auto +detection was enabled, then disabled, and then a volume was mounted. + + + +Version 0.0.8 +------------- + +2009-05-01 + +Added stored and downloads today sequence numbers: + +* The stored sequence number is remembered each time the program is run. + +* Downloads today tracks how many downloads are made on a given day. The time a + day "starts" is set via a new preference value, day start. This is useful if + you often photograph something late at night (e.g. concerts) and want a new + day to "start" at 3am, for instance. + +Make estimate of time remaining to download images much more accurate. + +Display download speed in status bar. + +Reorganized sequence number/letter selection in preferences. + +Add feature to detect change in program version, upgrading preferences where +necessary. + +Only allow one instance of the program to be run -- raise existing window if it +is run again. This is very useful when Rapid Photo Downloader is set to run +automatically upon insertion of a memory card. + +Add "exit at end of successful download" automation feature. + +When an image's download is skipped, the thumbnail is now lightened. + +Show a missing image icon if the thumbnail cannot be displayed for some reason. +(See bug #369640 for why thumbnail images from certain RAW files are not +displayed). + +Resize main window when an image device is inserted -- it now expands to show +each device that is inserted. + +Do not proceed with download if there is an error in the image rename or +download subfolder preferences. Instead, indicate a download error. + +Allow version 0.1.1 of pyexiv2 to be used (an older version of the library code +that is used to get information on the images, found in distributions like +Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron). + +In cases where image rename or download subfolder preferences are invalid, +more helpful information is printed to the console output. + +Bug fix: better handle automated shortening Canon names like 'Canon 5D Mark II'. +It is now shortened to '5DMkII' instead of merely '5D'. + +Bug fix: reenable example of image renaming and subfolder name generation by +using first image from the first available download device. This was +inadvertently disabled in an earlier beta. + +Bug fix: make default download subfolder YYYY/YYYYMMDD again. It was +inadvertently set to DDMMYYYY/YYYYMMDD in beta 6. + +Bug fix: don't change download button label to "pause" when "Start downloading +on program startup" is set to true. + +Bug fix: implement code to warn / give error about missing backup devices. + +Bug fix: reset progress bar after completion of successful download. + +Fix bug #317404 when clearing completed downloads. + + + +Version 0.0.8 beta 7 +-------------------- + +2009-04-07 + +Added serial number metadata option for select Nikon, Canon, Olympus, Fuji, +Panasonic, and Kodak cameras. + +Added shutter count metadata option for select Nikon cameras, e.g. Nikon D300, +D3 etc. + +Add owner name metadata option for select Canon cameras, e.g. 5D Mk II etc. + + +Version 0.0.8 beta 6 +-------------------- + +2009-03-31 + +Add YYYY-MM-DD and YY-MM-DD options in date time renaming, suggested by +Andreas F.X. Siegert and Paul Gear. + +Fix bug #352242 where image has no metadata. + +Handle images with corrupt metadata more gracefully. + + +Version 0.0.8 beta 5 +-------------------- + +2009-03-30 + +Reduce console output. + + +Version 0.0.8 beta 4 +-------------------- + +2009-03-25 + +Updated Ubuntu package. + +Version 0.0.8 beta 3 +-------------------- + +2009-03-25 + +Updated Ubuntu package. + + +Version 0.0.8 beta 2 +-------------------- + +2009-03-25 + +First Ububtu package. + +Rename tarball package to suit package name. + +Updated README. + +Version 0.0.8 beta 1 +-------------------- + +2009-03-20 + +Make file renaming thread safe, fixing a long-standing (if difficult to +activate) bug. + +Implement add unique identifier when file name is not unique. + +Added "Report a Problem", "Get Help Online", "Make a Donation" to Help menu. + +Implemented "Clear completed downloads" menu item. + +Download images in order they were taken (checked by time they modified). + +Fixed bug where choosing text as the first item in a download subfolder caused a +crash. + +Fixed bug where date and time choices based on when image is downloaded caused a +crash. + +Initial code to show error message when image renaming preferences have an +error. + +Fixed bug where some invalid preferences were not being caught. + +Run default python, not one specified in env, as per recommendations in Debian +Python Policy. + +Remove initial period from filename extension when generating a subfolder name +(or else the folder will be hidden). + +Check to see if metadata is essential to generate image names is now more +robust. + +Remove list control from preferences, reverting to normal tabbed preferences, +as the window was becoming too wide. + +Show notifcations via libnotify. + +Error and warning icons can now be clicked on to open log window. + +Finally, last but certainly not least--implemented sequence number and sequence +letter generation: + * session sequence number + * sequence letter +Coming soon: + * downloads today sequence number + * subfolder sequence number + * stored sequence number + + +Version 0.0.7 +------------- + +2009-01-13 + +Implemented option for automatic detection of Portal Storage Devices. + +Version 0.0.6 +------------- + +2009-01-11 + +Fixed extremely annoying bug where memory cards could not be unmounted. + +Made sample image selection for preferences more robust. + +Added license details to about dialog. + +Fix bug where image rename preferences entry boxes vertically expanded, looking +very ugly indeed. + +Wrap new filename in image rename preferences when it becomes too long. + +Make default download folder selection more robust. + +Remove sequence number and sequence letter from list of choices for image rename +(not yet implemented). + +Bug #314825: fix by not calling gnomevfs.get_local_path_from_uri() unless +strictly necessary. + +Version 0.0.5 +------------- + +2009-01-09 + +Implement auto download on device insertion, and auto download on program +startup. + +Increase default width of preferences dialog box. + +Add vertical scrollbar to image rename preferences. + +Fixes for bugs #313463 & #313462. + +Version 0.0.4 +------------- + +2009-01-06 + +Bug #314284: Implement backup functionality. + +Bug #314285: Insert debugging code to help determine the cause of this bug. + +Version 0.0.3 +------------- + +2009-01-03 + +Bug #313398: Fix bug where application needed to be restarted for new +preferences to take effect. + +Added setup.py installer. + +Version 0.0.2 +------------- + +Dependencies: +Pyexiv 0.1.2 + +Updated metadata code to reflect changes in pyexiv library. + +Version 0.0.1 +------------- + +Initial release. |
