New GPixPod 0.4.3 release should fix iPod Photo handling
I have just released 0.4.3 version of GPixPod that should fix the fullscreen image behaviour for iPod Photo/Color models! Please test it and report how it is working now, both on the iPod itself and in the application, in the right pane thumbnails view!
This release introduces more refined graphics with a simpler icon and a better logo, too. It fixes also the handling of iPodLinux installations, avoiding querying them for photos and Photo Database.

It works just fine now.
Great work.

Actually, it’s still a little buggy. I went through my images folder and added all of my images, but after it finished syncing I only had three folders in an album and one empty album, as opposed to 414 images and three albums.

If you selected all in your images folder, subfolders were not added because actually the action is not recursive.
What if you add a few images per time? Are they all displayed properly?

Well, I hate to burst your bubble again, but this version STILL will not find any of my image files, just as version 0.4.2 wouldn’t.
I wish I knew which section of the python files in your program contained the filespecs for image files, because I would manually edit them to locate my files, but alas.
Better luck time, I guess.

oldpink may you explain to me better? Do you mean the filechooser doesn’t display your images? Are dependencies correct?
May you send to me an e-mail with screenshots to understand better?

oldpink may you try dragging and dropping your images from Nautilus to the GPixPod treeview, to see if this works for you

I have a iPod Photo and it doens’t work, the iPod just wont display the pictures (neither thumbnails or fullscreen).

Very bad news
Have you ever tried previous versions? Many iPod Photo users have complained about only the fullscreen iPod image. This release aimed to fix that, but at this point seems to have got things worse.
Please may you report command-line output and the .gpixpod.log to be found in the Photos directory, maybe filing a bug report on SF or sending via e-mail?
Thank you so much!

I didn’t do anything recursively. Everything showed up fine when I was adding the images, they were all there until I synced my iPod.

Sorry, but I’ve got nothing to complain! ‘’Funziona!'’ (It works!)
I downloaded the rpm package, installed on SuSE 10.0 (no dependencies problems). I created my collections and uploaded several pictures on my iPod Nano.
Both thumbnails and photos are shown correcltly.
Great work, nice software, exactly what I was looking for.
Farewell iTunes!

Nautilus, eh?
Well, damn!
I used it to drag and drop just as you suggested, and boom! it works perfectly, albeit photo loading on the iPod is slooooooow.
I still find it strange that the integral file chooser doesn’t see the image files without having to use an external program to drag and drop them over to it, though, but at least this works.
Thanks.

Yes I know it is slower than iTunes. But that’s because there are bit-to-bit image conversions. Although optimized in some way, it is all python code also in image conversions functions!
Maybe some day I will rewrite bottle neck code in C for best performance but now functionality is the priority!

Hi Shantanu,
have you used an uploading behaviour (”Zoom”, “Stretch”) other than “Fit”? May you post command line output and the .gpixpod.log, versions used ecc. ecc. It would be great if you could file a bug report on SF!
