GPixPod

I am currently working on Photo Database format differences found on recent Apple iPod Nanoes and maybe Video, too.
I don’t know whether these discrepancies - which until now caused GPixPod crashes - are generated only by iPhoto when used to do anything with the iPod, or by some versions of iTunes, too.
Well, I don’t know, but I’ll try to manage this transparently. It’s not something the user should worry about, whether to use iPhoto or not.
For instance, this kind of Photo Databases stores a second string entry in every photo album, after its name, containing a transition effect name (as already documented on the iPodLinux wiki) but also additional string records for every image, containing a label or the name maybe as shown inside iPhoto (I don’t know yet whether instead of the path, or indipendently).
I’m going to update the specifications on the iPodLinux.org wiki and the parser code to handle all this hopefully to finally support the interested users.
Stay tuned!
