ExifTool -can be used to help download videos on Linux distributions that have not -packaged hachoir-metadata, such as Fedora. - -Exiftran is another new dependency. It is used to automatically rotate -JPEG images. - -Fixed bug #704482: Delete photos option should be easily accessible - - -Added a toolbar at the top of the main program window, which gives immediate -access to the most commonly changed configuration options: where files will -be transferred from, whether they will be copied or moved, and where they will -be transferred to. - -Please when the move option is chosen, all files in the download from a device -are first copied before any are deleted. In other words, only once all -source files have been successfully copied from a device to their destination -are the source files deleted from that device. - -Fixed bug #754531: extract Exif.CanonFi.FileNumber metadata - - -Added FileNumber metadata renaming option, which is a Canon-specific Exif value -in the form xxx-yyyy, where xxx is the folder number and yyyy is the image -number. Uses ExifTool. Thanks go to Etieene Charlier for researching the fix -and contributing code to get it implemented. - -Fixed bug #695517: Added functionality to download MTS video files. There is -currently no python based library to read metadata from MTS files, but ExifTool -works. - -Fixed bug #859998: Download THM video thumbnail files - - -Some video files have THM video thumbnail files associated with them. Rapid -Photo Downloader now downloads them and renames them to match the name of the -video it is associated with. - -Fixed bug #594533: Lossless JPEG rotation based on EXIF data after picture -transfer - - -There is now an option to automatically rotate JPEG photos as they are -downloaded. The program exiftran is used to do the rotation.

This can result in the program -scanning a very large number of files, possibly causing the system to become -unresponsive. The program now queries the user before commencing this scan to -confirm if this is really what they want to do. - -Fixed bug #792228: clear all thumbnails when refresh command issued. - -Fixed bug #890949: Panasonic MOD format and duplicate filename issue - -Fixed a bug where the device progress bar would occasionally disappear when -the download device was changed. - -Fixed a bug where the file extensions the program downloads could not be -displayed from the command line. - -Fixed a bug where the program would crash when trying to convert a malformed -thumbnail from one image mode to another. - -Updated Czech, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Norwegian, -Polish, Serbian, Slovak, Spanish and Swedish translations. - - -Version 0.4.2 -------------- - -2011-10-01 - -Added feature in Preferences window to remove any paths that have previously -been marked to always be scanned or ignored. These paths can be specified when -automatic detection of Portable Storage Devices is enabled. - -Fixed bug #768026: added option to ignore paths from which to download - - -You can now specify paths never to scan for photos or videos. By default, any -path ending in .Trash or .thumbnails is ignored. Advanced users can specify -paths to never scan using python-style regular expressions. - -Fixed bug #774488: added manual back up path for videos, in addition to photos - - -You can now manually specify a path specifically in which to back up videos. This -can be the same as or different than the path in which to back up photos. - -Fixed bug #838722: wrong file types may be backed up to external devices - - -Fixed a bug when auto detection of backup devices is enabled, files of the wrong -type might be backed up. For instance, if the backup device is only meant to -store videos, and the download contains photos, photos would incorrectly be -backed up to the device in addition to videos. - -Fixed bug #815727: Back up errors and warnings incorrectly displayed in log -window - - -Fixed a bug that occurred when backing up errors are encountered, the log window -did not display them correctly, although they were correctly outputted to the -terminal window. This only occurred when more than one back up device was being -used during a download. - -Fixed bug #859242: Crash when displaying a preview of file without an extracted -thumbnail. - -Fixed bug #810559: Crash when generating thumbnail images - -Fixed bug #789995: crash when --reset-settings option is given on the command -line. - -Fixed bugs #795446 and #844714: small errors in translation template. - -Fixed a bug in the Swedish translation. - -Added Danish translation, by Torben Gundtofte-Bruun. Updated Brazilian, Czech, -Dutch, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Polish, Russian, -Serbian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish translations. - - -Version 0.4.1 -------------- - -2011-05-19 - -Added exif Artist and Copyright metadata options to file and subfolder name -generation. - -Fixed bug #774476: thumbnails occasionally not sorted by file modification -time. - -Fixed bug #784399: job code not prompted for after preference change. - -Fixed bug #778085: crash when trying to scan inaccessible files on mounted -camera. - -Relaxed startup test to check whether pynotify is working.

Updated Brazilian, Dutch, French, -German, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Russian, Spanish and Ukrainian translations. - - -Version 0.4.0 -------------- - -2011-04-28 - -Features added since Release Candidate 1: - -* Allow multiple selection of files to check or uncheck for downloading. -* Automation feature to delete downloaded files from a device. - -Bug fix: translation fixes. - -Bug fix: don't crash when completing download with backups enabled and no backup -devices detected. - -Updated Dutch, French, German, Polish, Russian, Serbian and Spanish -translations. - - -Version 0.4.0 RC 1 ------------------- - -2011-04-21 - -Features added since beta 1: - -Backups have been implemented. If you are backing up to more than one device, -Rapid Photo Downloader will backup to each device simultaneously instead of one -after the other. - -When clicking the Download button before thumbnails are finished generating, -the download proceeds immediately and the thumbnails remaining to be generated -will rendered during the download itself. - -Added preferences option to disable thumbnail generation. When auto start is -enabled, this can speed-up transfers when downloading from high-speed devices. - -Access to the preferences window is now disabled while a download is occurring, -as changing preferences when files are being download can cause problems. - -Bug fix: don't crash when downloading some files after having previously -downloaded some others in the same session. - -Updated Brazilian, Dutch, German and Russian translations. - - -Version 0.4.0 beta 1 --------------------- - -2011-04-10 - -Features added since alpha 4: - -* Job Code functionality, mimicking that found in version 0.2.3. -* Eject device button for each unmountable device in main window. -* When not all files have been downloaded from a device, the number remaining - is displayed in the device's progress bar -* Overall download progress is displayed in progress bar at bottom of window -* Time remaining and download speed are displayed in the status bar -* System notification messages -* Automation features: - * Automatically start a download at program startup or when a device - is inserted. When this is enabled, to optimize performance instead of - thumbnails being generated before the files are downloaded, they are - generated during the download. - * Eject a device when all files have been downloaded from it. - * Exit when all files have been downloaded. - -The automation feature to delete downloaded files from a device will be added -only when the non-alpha/beta of version 0.4.0 is released. - -The major feature currently not implemented is backups. - -Note: if videos are downloaded, the device may not be able to be unmounted -until Rapid Photo Downloader is exited. See bug #744012 for details. - -Bug fix: adjust vertical pane position when additional devices are inserted -Bug fix: display file and subfolder naming warnings in error log - -Updated Czech, French and Russian translations. - - -Version 0.3.6 -------------- - -2011-04-05 - -This release contains a minor fix to allow program preferences to be changed -on upcoming Linux distributions like Ubuntu 11.04 and Fedora 15. - -It also contains a minor packaging change so it can be installed in Ubuntu -11.04. - - -Version 0.4.0 alpha 4 ---------------------- - -2011-04-04 - -Fixed bug #750808: errorlog.ui not included in setup.py. - - -Version 0.4.0 alpha 3 ---------------------- - -2011-04-04 - -Features added since alpha 2: - -* Error log window to display download warnings and errors. -* Synchronize RAW + JPEG Sequence values. - -Fixed bug #739021: unable to set subfolder and file rename preferences on -alpha and beta Linux distributions such as Ubuntu 11.04 or Fedora 15. - -Updated Brazilian, Dutch, French, German and Spanish translations. - -Version 0.4.0 alpha 2 ---------------------- - -2011-03-31 - -Features added since alpha 1: - -* Sample file names and subfolders are now displayed in the preferences dialog - window. -* The option to add a unique identifier to a filename if a file with the same - name already exists - -Other changes: - -* Updated INSTALL file to match new package requirements. - -* Added program icon to main window. - -* Bug fix: leave file preview mode when download devices are changed in the - preferences. - -* Bug fix: don't crash on startup when trying to display free space and photo or - video download folders do not exist. - - -Version 0.4.0 alpha 1 ---------------------- - -2011-03-24 - -Rapid Photo Downloader is much faster and sports a new user interface. It is -about 50 times faster in tasks like scanning photos and videos before the -download. It also performs the actual downloads quicker. It will use -multiple CPU cores if they are available. - -Rapid Photo Downloader now requires version 0.3.0 or newer of pyexiv2. It also -requires Python Imaging (PIL) to run. It will only run on recent Linux -distributions such as Ubuntu 10.04 or newer. It has been tested on Ubuntu 10.04, -10.10 and 11.04, as well as Fedora 14. (There is currently an unusual bug -adjusting some preferences when running Ubuntu 11.04. See bug #739021). - -This is an alpha release because it is missing features that are present in -version 0.3.5. Missing features include: - -* System Notifications of download completion -* Job Codes -* Backups as you download -* Automation features, e.g. automatically start download at startup -* Error log window (currently you must check the command line for error output) -* Time remaining status messages -* Synchronize RAW + JPEG Sequence Numbers -* Add unique identifier to a filename if a file with the same name already - exists -* Sample file names and subfolders are not displayed in the preferences window - -These missing features will be added in subsequent alpha and beta releases. - -Kaa-metadata is no longer required to download videos. However, if you -want to use Frames Per Second or Codec metadata information in subfolder or -video file names, you must ensure it is installed. This is no longer checked at -program startup. - -Thanks go to Robert Park for refreshing the translations code. - -Added Romanian translation. - - -Version 0.3.5 -------------- - -2011-03-23 - -The primary purpose of this release is update translations and fix bug #714039, -where under certain circumstances the program could crash while downloading -files. - -This is intended to be the last release in the 0.3.x series. In the upcoming -version 0.4.0, Rapid Photo Downloader is much faster and sports a new user -interface. - -Added Romanian translation. Updated Brazilian, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Dutch, -Finnish, German, Italian, Polish and Russian translations. - - -Version 0.3.4 -------------- - -2010-12-31 - -You can now change the size of the preview image by zooming in and out using a -slider. The maximum size is double that of the previous fixed size, which was -160px. On computers with small screens such as netbooks, the maximum preview -image size is the same as the previous fixed size. Please note that Rapid Photo -Downloader only extracts thumbnails of photos; for performance reasons, it does -not create them. This means for some file formats, the thumbnails will contain -jpeg artifacts when scaled up (this is particularly true when using a version of -pyexiv2 < 0.2.0). For users who require larger preview images, this will be of -little consequence. - -When the "Strip compatible characters" feature is enabled in the Preferences -(which is the default), any white space (e.g. spaces) beginning or ending a -folder name will now be removed. - -Bug fix: camera serial numbers are now stripped of any spaces preceding or -following the actual value. - -Fixed bug #685335: inaccurate description of python packages required for -downloading videos. - -Added Croatian translation. Updated French, Norwegian Bokmal, Polish and Russian -translations. - - -Version 0.3.3 -------------- - -2010-10-24 - -Added support for mod, tod and 3gp video files. - -Hachoir-metadata is now used to extract selected metadata from video files. It -has less bugs than kaa-metadata, and is better maintained. One benefit of this -change is that more video file types can have their metadata extracted. Another -is that the video creation date is now correctly read (the creation time read by -kaa metadata was sometimes wrong by a few hours). Kaa-metadata is still used to -extract some the codec, fourcc and frames per second (FPS) metadata. - -Fixed bug #640722: Added preliminary support for Samsung SRW files. Current -versions of Exiv2 and pyexiv2 can read some but not all metadata from this new -RAW format. If you try to use metadata that cannot be extracted, Rapid Photo -Downloader will issue a warning. - -Fixed bug #550883: Generation of subfolders and filenames using the time a -download was started. - -Fixed bugs related to missing video download directory at program startup. - -Added command line option to output to the terminal information useful for -debugging. - -Added Norwegian Bokmal and Portuguese translations. Updated Brazilian -Portuguese, Dutch, Finnish, German, Hungarian, Italian, Norwegian Nynorsk, -Polish, Russian, Serbian, Slovak and Ukrainian translations. - - -Version 0.3.2 -------------- - -2010-09-12 - -Added Norwegian Nynorsk translation. Updated Chinese, Finnish, Hungarian, Dutch, -Occitan (post 1500), Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, and Russian translations. - -Fixed crash on startup when checking for free space, and the download folder does -not exist. - - -Version 0.3.1 -------------- - -2010-08-13 - -The main window now works more effectively on tiny screens, such as those found -on netbooks. If the screen height is less than or equal to 650 pixels, elements -in the preview pane are removed, and the spacing is tightened. - -The amount of free space available on the file-system where photos are to be -downloaded is now displayed in the status bar. (Note this is only the case on -moderately up-to-date Linux distributions that use GVFS, such as Ubuntu 8.10 or -higher). - -Add Chinese (simplified) translation. A big thanks goes out to the Ubuntu -Chinese translation team. Partial translations of Bulgarian, Japanese, Occitan -(post 1500), Persian, Portuguese (Brazilian), and Turkish have been added. In -the past only translations that were largely finished were added, but hopefully -adding incomplete translations will speed up their completion. Updated Finnish, -French, Hungarian, Russian, Serbian and Spanish translations. - - -Version 0.3.0 -------------- - -2010-07-10 - -The major new feature of this release is the generation of previews before -a download takes place. You can now select which photos and videos you wish to -download. - -You can now assign different Job Codes to photos and videos in the same -download. Simply select photos and videos, and from the main window choose a Job -Code for them. You can select a new Job Code,or enter a new one (press Enter -to apply it). - -The errors and warnings reported have been completely overhauled, and are now -more concise. - -Now that you can select photos and videos to download, the "Report an error" -option in case of filename conflicts has been removed. If you try to download a -photo or video that already exists, an error will be reported. If you backup a -photo or video that already exists in the backup location, a warning will be -reported (regardless of whether overwriting or skipping of backups with -conflicting filenames is chosen). - -Likewise, the option of whether to report an error or warning in case of missing -backup devices has been removed. If you have chosen to backup your photos and -videos, and a backup device or location is not found, the files will be -downloaded with warnings. - -For each device in the main window, the progress bar is now updated much more -smoothly than before. This is useful when downloading and backing up large files -such as videos. (Note this is only the case on moderately up-to-date Linux -distributions that use GVFS, such as Ubuntu 8.10 or higher). - -The minimum version of python-gtk2 (pygtk) required to run the program is now -2.12. This will affect only outdated Linux distributions. - - -Version 0.3.0 beta 6 --------------------- - -2010-07-06 - -Fixed bug #598736: don't allow file to jump to the bottom when it has a Job Code -assigned to it. - -Fixed bug #601993: don't prompt for a Job Code when downloading file of one type -(photo or video), and it's only a file of the other type that needs it. - -Log error messages are now cleaned up where a file already exists and there were -problems generating the file / subfolder name. - -Fixed crash on startup when using an old version of GIO. - -Fix crash in updating the time remaining in when downloading from extremely -slow devices. - -Set the default height to be 50 pixels taller. - -Bug fix: don't download from device that has been inserted after program starts -unless device auto detection is enabled. - -Updated German translation. - - -Version 0.3.0 beta 5 --------------------- - -2010-07-04 - -Added warning dialog if attempting to download directly from a camera. - -Add backup errors details to error log window. - -Fixed program notifications. - -Fixed corner cases with problematic file and subfolder names. - -Disabled Download All button if all files that have not been downloaded have -errors. - -Enabled and disabled Download All button, depending on status, after subfolder -or filename preferences are modified after device has been scanned. - -Don't stop a file being downloaded if a valid subfolder or filename can be -generated using a Job Code. - -Bug fix: don't automatically exit if there were errors or warnings and a -download was occurring from more than one device. - -Auto start now works correctly again. - -Job Codes are now assigned correctly when multiple downloads occur. - -Default column sorting is by date, unless a warning or error occurs when -doing the initial scan of the devices, in which case it is set to status (unless -you have already clicked on a column heading yourself, in which case it will -not change). - -Use the command xdg-user-dir to get default download directories. - -Updated Czech, Dutch, Finnish, French, Italian, Polish, Russian and Ukrainian -translations. - - -Version 0.3.0 beta 4 --------------------- - -2010-06-25 - -Fixed bug in Job Code addition in the preferences window. - -Made Job Code entry completion case insensitive. - -Update preview to be the most recently selected photo / video when -multiple files are selected. - -Don't crash when user selects a row that has its status set to be -download pending. - -Improve error log status messages and problem notifications. - - -Version 0.3.0 beta 3 --------------------- - -2010-06-23 - -First beta release of 0.3.0. - - -Version 0.2.3 -------------- - -2010-06-23 - -Updated Hungarian, Russian, Swedish and Ukrainian translations. - -Fixed bug #590725: don't crash if the theme does not associate an icon with -the detected device. - -Bug fix: update example filenames and folders when Job codes are manually -modified in the preferences window. - -This is the final release before 0.3.0, which will be a major update. - - -Version 0.2.2 -------------- - -2010-06-06 - -Added Ukrainian translation by Sergiy Gavrylov. - -Bug fix: in systems where exiv2 is not installed, don't crash on startup. - - -Version 0.2.1 -------------- - -2010-06-05 - -Bug fix: display sample photo and video names in preferences dialog using -first photo and video found on download device, where possible. This used to -work but was inadvertently disabled in a recent release. - -Bug fix: prompt for Job code when only video names or video subfolder names -use a job code. - -Bug fix: filter out Null bytes from Exif string values. These can occur when -the Exif data is corrupted. - -Updated Spanish, Russian and Finnish translations. - - -Version 0.2.0 -------------- - -2010-05-30 - -Videos can now be downloaded in much the same way photos can. - -The package kaa metadata is required to download videos. ffmpegthumbnailer is -used to display thumbnail images of certain types of videos as the download -occurs. - -kaa metadata and ffmpegthumbnailer are optional. The program will run without -them. See the INSTALL file for details. - -If a THM file with the same name as the video is present, it will be used to -generate a thumbnail for the video. If not, if ffmpegthumbnailer is installed, -Rapid Photo Downloader will use it to attempt to extract a thumbnail from the -video. THM files are not downloaded. - -For now, sequence values are shared between the downloads of videos and photos. -There may be an option to have two sets of sequence numbers in a future release. - -Due to the number of changes in the code, it is possible that regressions in the -photo downloading code may have been introduced. - -This is the first release to use version 0.2.x of the pyexiv2 library. The -most immediate benefit of this change is that thumbnail images from Nikon and -other brand cameras can be displayed. This fixes bugs #369640 and #570378. - -Please note pyexiv2 0.2.x requires exiv2 0.1.9 or above. - -Rapid Photo Downloader will still work with pyexiv2 0.1.x. However it will not -be able to display the thumbnails of some brands of camera. - -If Rapid Photo Downloader detects version 0.18.1 or higher of the exiv2 -library, it will download Panasonic's RW2 files. If it detects version 0.18.0 or -higher of the exiv2 library, it will download Mamiya's MEF files. For Rapid -Photo Downloader to be able to detect which version of the exiv2 library your -system has, it must either be running pyexiv2 >= 0.2.0, or have exiv2 installed. - -Fixed bug #483222: sometimes images could not be downloaded to NTFS partitions. -This fix was a welcome side effect of using GIO to copy images, instead of -relying on the python standard library. - -Error message headings in the Error Log are now displayed in a red font. - -Program settings and preferences can be reset using a new command line option. - -Program preferences are now more thoroughly checked for validity when the -program starts. - -Further work was done to fix bug #505492, to handle cases where the system -notification system is not working properly. - - -Version 0.1.3 -------------- - -2010-01-22 - -Fixed bug #509348: When both the backup and "Delete images from image device -upon download completion" options are selected, the program will only delete -an image from the image device if it was both downloaded to the download folder -and backed up. Previously it did not check to ensure it was backed up -correctly too. - -Fixed bug #505492: Program failed to start in environments where the -notification system has problems. - -Fixed bug #508304: User is now prompted to confirm if they really want to -remove all of their Job Codes after clicking on "Remove All" in the preferences -dialog window. - -Fixed bug #510484: Crashes when fails to create temporary download directory. - -Fixed bug #510516: Program now checks to see if the download folder exists and -is writable. If automatic detection of image devices is not enabled, it checks -to see if the image location path exists. - -Updated Czech, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, -Russian, Serbian, Spanish and Swedish translations. - - -Version 0.1.2 -------------- - -2010-01-16 - -New feature: photographers using RAW + JPEG mode now have the option to -synchronize sequence numbers for the matching pair of images. This option is -useful if you use the RAW + JPEG feature on your camera and you use sequence -numbers or letters in your image renaming. Enabling this option will cause the -program to detect matching pairs of RAW and JPEG images, and when they are -detected, the same sequence numbers and letters will be applied to both image -names. Furthermore, sequences will be updated as if the images were one. For -example, if 200 RAW images and 200 matching JPEG images are downloaded, the -value of Downloads today will be incremented by 200, and not 400. The same goes -for the rest of the sequence values, including the Stored number sequence -number. Images are detected by comparing filename, as well as the exif value for -the date and time the image was created (including sub seconds when the camera -records this value). This option will take effect regardless of whether the RAW -and JPEG images are stored on different memory cards or the same memory card. -Furthermore, if they are stored on separate memory cards, you can download from -them simultaneously or one after the other. The only requirement is to download -the images in the same session--in other words, for the feature to work, use as -many memory cards as you need, but do not exit the program between downloads of -the matching sets of images. - -Increased maximum sequence number length to seven digits by user request. - -Fixed bug #503704: changes in values for downloads today and stored number not -updated when changed via program preferences while a download is ready to begin. - -Fixed a rare startup bug, where the program could crash when starting a thread. - -Added Serbian translation by Milos Popovic. Updated Czech, Dutch, Finnish, -French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Russian, Slovak, Spanish and -Swedish translations. - - -Version 0.1.1 -------------- - -2010-01-05 - -Added auto delete feature. When enabled, upon the completion of a download, -images that were successfully downloaded will be deleted from the image device -they were downloaded from. Images that were not downloaded successfully will not -be deleted. - -Added keyboard accelerators for Preferences and Help. - -Added Dutch translation by Alian J. Baudrez. Updated Czech, French, German, -Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Slovak and Spanish translations. - - -Version 0.1.0 -------------- - -2009-12-07 - -Added icons to notification messages. - -Updated Czech, French, German, Hungarian, Polish, Russian, Slovak, Spanish and -Swedish translations. - -Bug fix: properly handle devices being unmounted, fixing a bug introduced in -Version 0.0.9 beta 2. - -Bug fix: When program preferences are changed, image and backup devices are now -refreshed only when the preferences dialog window is closed. - -Bug fix: Minutes component of image and folder renaming had the same code as -months. - - -Version 0.1.0 beta 2 --------------------- - -2009-11-22 - -New feature: when detection of portable storage devices is selected, the program -will prompt you whether or not to download from each device it automatically -detects. 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 necessary 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: re-enable 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 Ubuntu 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 notifications 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. |
