GPixPod gains speed with new 0.4.1 version
I have just released GPixPod 0.4.1 with the following enhancements and bugfixes:
- Blazing-fast opening with thumbs checksum instead of copy
- Thumbs update on saving; extracting only on checksum fail
- Option to choose where thumbnails cache should be kept
- Speed-up in some RGB565 functions using operator module
- Some speed-up when open/save in extract/rebuild thumbs
- Fixed treeview when selecting an album for the first time
- Fixed addition/removal/display of photos with accented or other not ASCII characters
- Fixed cross-platform pack/unpack specifying little-endian
- Maybe it now supports the latest model, iPod Nano 1Gb

The same error was reported by someone using GTK/PyGTK 2.6. Are you sure to have GTK+ and PyGTK >= 2.8?
About the next error: the HAL autodetection could be disabled in preferences, otherwise you could install python2.4-dbus and setup HAL properly.

Thanks for the reply, I shall try GTK+/PyGTK >=2.8

Hi Reiner,
this is the main site for support. The 0.4.0 is currently the latest version available for Windows. I will update it soon.
Unfortunately GPixPod is a bit slow, because written completely in an interpreted language. Did you manage to get it working, although slow?
