GPixPod 0.3.4 released!
Image details are now available also when not saved yet with the status (saved/not saved) shown. Image is zoomed to all available space in the right pane by default; now it is possible to adjust zoom of the displayed image, and to save it directly from GPixPod, too. The treeview has been enhanced expanding/collapsing rows on single click, default names are now shown when adding/renaming albums, plus a few bug fixes.

AWESOME… After a lot of mucking about I finally gave up and turned off autodetect and it works like a dream…
Thankyou very much for a splendid application!

Is it possible to prevent gpixpod from downloading all the pictures each time? Can i get it to just upload the database so I can download new pictures without waiting for the old ones to be uploaded?
Thanks

Paul,
I’m working on 0.4 that will feature option to copy / not copy full resolution images (particularly useful for Nanoes with small storage).
Speed in the whole application could be optimized a lot but requires additional work. I don’t know when I will have enough time to rewrite all the interested parts of code. Probably at time of GPixPod 0.5.

Thats great… Also, I’ve noticed that when there is a corrupt picture that is not recognised, the app appears to hang. I then have to restart and i lost the changes to the photo db - which means i need to then delete pics manually and download again…

If I have understood the last version is supporting iPod Nano (I have a iPod nano 1 GB). However the application is complaining about my iPod not compatible. I have tried to save some photos but the application hangs forever. The photo really is written in my iPod, I can see it at /mnt/ipod/Photos/Full Resolution/2006/3/13/… but I cannot see it on my disconnected iPod whant I select Photo.
???

Paul,
what do you mean with corrupt picture, more exactly? The selection is automatic by the toolkit choosing pixbuf formats. What kind is it? After, may you attach the command line output?

Piero,
the iPod Nano 1Gb is the very latest model from Apple. It is possible that they have changed something in the database format. In fact until now the Nano support has been confirmed from various 2Gb/4Gb owners.
Please submit a bug report on SF attaching log file .gpixpod.log in the Photos dir and command line output. Thank you

Finally I’ve found what I was looking for…almost!
Do you know if there’s something similar for windows users?
Great job anyway!

Where can I find the version 0.3.4 for a Windows PC ? I downloaded version 0.3.1 from www.download.com (posted 7/3/2006) and it doesn’t seem to work on my 30GB Ipod. When I go to the Ipod-drive (I:) and click on the map Photos and then Photo Database I only see ” Opening Photo Database … it could take several minutes, depending on its size!” but nothing happens. About 181Mb ( 180 photos) are on the Ipod

This is what I find in the logfile :

there is the old version 0.3.1 available on www.download.com and on the SourceForge project page.
The Windows version is not updated every release, being a time consuming process. However I will update the Win32 package when there are major-features changes.

Dirk,
I think the problem is that GPixPod currently does not support yet loading Photo databases generated by iTunes with the option to not copy full resolution images.
However I’m working on this problem, it will be fixed with GPixPod 0.4.
For now, you should try doing a backup of your current Photos and Photo Database and creating a new one from scratch.

yes, thank you, I’ve found it right after I’ve posted my message, but it seems that I can only chose iPod Photo Database files to transfer to my iPod (in other words I don’t see jpg files in my folders in GPixPod window). I didn’t try with iPod connected though, because it is being replaced.
Thank you!

In fact you could transfer photos only after opened a Photo Database file from an iPod, with the Add Photo button!

It’s seems it hangs on accented file names
