Rapid Photo Downloader 0.9.27a3 is released

This is an alpha version because I still have features I want to add. It is stable, and should be fine for daily use. If not let me know and I’ll fix it. To install it grab the install script and from a terminal run python3 install.py --devel.

Changes:

  • Fixed bug #1946407: Work around apparent float to int conversion when calling
    Qt from Python 3.10 on Fedora 35 beta.

  • Fixed bug #33: Files with unique identifier added via error handling are not
    marked as downloaded.

  • Added folder ‘Screenshots’ to list of ignored paths. Remove this folder from
    the list of ignored paths in the program Preferences dialog if you do wish to
    download from a path that contains this folder.

  • Fix bug #1924933: Exception when scanning device with problematic connection.

  • Fix bug #1909904: python3-libunity package dumps core on Fedora. The
    install.py script will now uninstall python3-libunity if it is found on the
    system, as using it causes a calling program like Rapid Photo Downloader to
    crash.

  • Include Python package setuptools in README.md listing of required of runtime
    packages. It has been required for some time, but the README did not specify
    it.

  • The install.py script will no longer install pyheif on Raspberry Pi OS
    because user feedback indicates pyheif fails to build on that OS. If pyheif
    does in fact build on your install of Raspberry Pi OS, you can install it
    using Python’s pip.
