GPixPod 0.4.2 features threads and photo references
Photo references actually are just links to existing photos inside photo albums. Think of a photo album as a list of links to the pictures: GPixPod before could manage only one link per each picture; now it handles multiple links in different places. For example you could want a photo to show up in two or three different photo albums, or maybe you just want to include it both at the beginning and at the end of a same photo album. Now it’s possible to achieve this, first adding the photo as usually, and then choosing the Add Photo Reference action in the interested photo album specifying the related photo ID.
The implementation of threads in GPixPod allows for a faster processing when adding photos, opening and saving Photo Database, specially on multi-core / multi-processors machines; thanks to this, a very detailed progress indication is available now when opening and saving the Photo Database and the related thumbnails files.
With GPixPod 0.4.2 it is also possible to stop/abort pre-saving operations such as adding/deleting photos, renaming photo albums, etc. etc. any time, just pressing the new button on the right of the progress bar. The status remains unsaved for not completed operations which could be continued later, choosing to save again.
Please download it from SF as usually! 
(Debian users: try again the .deb package, it should install cleanly now!)

Whoaaa! I’ve been looking for a way to upload my pictures to my nano for too long. Thanks for this great app. Loving it. You could talk to the GTKPod guys to integrate some of your code into GTKPod, or at least examine it.
Cheers!

Hello,
I think that while a single application such as iTunes to handle everything is great, sometimes using 2 different programs even related to the same device, but for different purposes avoids confusion and it is more flexible.
GPixPod let do manually what iTunes does automatically: someone does prefer this, and someone doesn’t. However I think all the features of GPixPod and of gtkpod mixed together would lose simplicity.
Another problem is that gtkpod is written in C and GPixPod in python!

I hate to complain, but this program is about as easy to understand as Chinese arithmetic.
I was able to get it to find my iPod with little problem, but it doesn’t even see my photos at all.
WTF?
I am able to go into the directory where my photos are stored, but it refuses to show them to me so I can add them directly.
Am I missing something here, because this is quite frustrating.

Hi,
this sounds very strange. Please inform me about your system configuration - are you using python 2.4+ and GTK/PyGTK 2.8+?
May 21st, 2006 at 23:44
pygtk-2.8.6
Python-2.4
GTK-2.8.16 (I think; very sure it’s at least 2.8x)
It’s as if it sees only directories, but it can’t see individual files, be they images or otherwise.

Yep, I’m having the exact same problem.
Python 2.4.4c0 (but I’ve also tried Python 2.3.5)
pygtk-2.8.2-3
GTK-2.8.17-2
it even says “Photo Database opened” but nothing shows up. =(
It would be great to make it work, seems like a great application

Hi all,
sorry for slow progress but I am currently without laptop. There a few bug reports and I will have a look at this errors in the next few days, hopefully fixing them soon.

Hi all,
please make a windows executable, thanks

Hi,
it is already available (but version 0.4.0) here: http://www.download.com/GPixPod/3000-2193_4-10516867.html?tag=lst-0-1

Yes, but unfotunatelly it is not working with my Ipod Video 40GB. What i could do is only open a database, but there is nothing inside. Please make something with this…. i dont know if it`s fixed with newest version. Does someone used GpixPod with this ipod ? I`m really looking for something less useless than #@$% ITunes.
Best Regards

Hi; the program seems to work fine, but when I try to view the photos from my iPod, all I get is a black screen. I’m using the latest version, and I’m pretty definite all of the dependencies are up-to-date. The thumbnails load fine in the iPod. Also, when in the app and I try to view the iPod fullscreen photo it doesn’t load; everything else does, however.
