New in this version:
- The preference value “Scan non-camera devices lacking a DCIM folder” is
replaced with the new preference value “Scan only specific folders on
devices”, along with a list of folders to be scanned. By default, the
default folders to scan are DCIM, PRIVATE, and MP_ROOT, but you can change
these defaults using the program preferences. The change was made to
account for camera and phone manufacturers whose devices save photos and
videos in locations that differ from the DCIM specification.
- Updated Catalan, German and Italian translations. Other translations will
be updated for the final 0.9.3 release.
To install this latest beta version, you can adjust the program preferences to allow checking for new development versions, or you can simply run the install script with a special command line switch:
python3 install.py --devel
Incidentally, recent versions of the install script are clever enough to seamlessly run a newer version of itself if it finds it in the latest tarball. This is all possible thanks to the magic of the python function execl
, found in the os module.
