Minimum is python 3.4. I wish I could drop it and make python 3.5 but unfortunately 3.4 is still used by some people.
URL?

I can’t seem to locate the option to move rather than copy images during the download. Is it buried somewhere or not implemented (yet?).

Hi @Marcelloscola , to get more verbose output, try this from the terminal (all on one line):
python3 -m pip install --user -vv --disable-pip-version-check --no-deps --disable-pip-version-check rapid-photo-downloader-0.9.2.tar.gz
You can download the tarball here .
Then copy and paste the output here. If the problem is reproducible I might be able to improve the install.py script so other users don’t run into the same problem, depending on the nature of the problem.
Hi @damonlynch , thank you for the reply.
This is the output (i will break the output in two ore more post because the system tells that, as new user, I can’t post more than 4 links… (?)

hi @Marcelloscola ,
Sorry for the delayed reply. In the meantime, I moved to a different state. It’s a lot of work to move house!
It looks like the application did actually install correctly with pip. Have you been using it? I guess it’s possible that somehow pip is returning a non-zero output code but it did actually install. If that’s the case, I need to modify the install.py script to handle such a scenario.

Hello Damon,
I used to be on version 0.4.something for a while and just installed 0.9.2 on my Mint MATE (I still can’t do it on my OpenSUSE TW). The old version had two buttons - Copy and Move. The new ver has only one - Download which is basically a Copy. I was not able to find a setting that would allow me to copy files from SD to HDD and then delete them after and wondering if there is one.

Please see the relevant entry in the FAQ .
I take an admittedly conservative position because the most important thing is to keep the integrity of your photographic data fully intact under all circumstances.
By far my biggest regret ever with the program is when I introduced the feature to automatically rotate JPEG images, after several people asked for it. It was a good feature request and I was happy to implement it. It worked well… until it didn’t, when a bug in jpegtran stripped out the makernote metadata from some images (from Olympus cameras, from memory). Because Rapid Photo Downloader worked on the image being downloaded, and did not create a duplicate before the jpegtran transformation, data was lost. Needless to say, that feature is now removed.
The good news is that so far there are no reports of the kinds of instability that could harm the integrity of the data. When something related to the interprocess communication code (powered by ZeroMQ) crashes, so far it has done so abruptly, which is much better than silent corruption.

Looks like packman repo finally updated RPD to ver 0.9.2 so I got it on my OpenSUSE now.
Traceback (most recent call last):init .py”, line 560, in load_entry_pointinit .py”, line 2648, in load_entry_pointinit .py”, line 2302, in loadinit .py”, line 2308, in resolveimport (self.module_name, fromlist=[‘name ’], level=0)init .py”, line 118, in require_versions not available' namespace)
I don’t really understand what is wrong. Is there something wrong with my python packages?

Thank you for your comments.
I guess I better download images event by event (or day by day) and not the whole SD card (sometimes my images sit there for few weeks before I get to download and process them). In that case that will be easier to check the result and be able to delete original images from SD without a bad feeling.

Perhaps the person packaging the application made a mistake. Ensure all of these packages are present (delete any line break first):
typelib-1_0-GExiv2-0_10 typelib-1_0-UDisks-2_0 typelib-1_0-Notify-0_7 typelib-1_0-Gst-1_0 typelib-1_0-GUdev-1_0 girepository-1_0 python3-gobject
You are missing the GUdev package, but maybe others too. Report back if it works, thanks.

Yes, you were correct.typelib-1_0-GUdev-1_0 was missing. RPD launched now.
PS I made a mistake. RPD 0.9.2 is not in the packman repo, it is in opensuse repos.

Please file a bug report on the package. The package maintainer needs to fix his mistake. If you cannot do that please let me know. Thanks.
