GPixPod

In GPixPod 0.5.0 I have added different behaviours (fit, zoom and stretch) for storing the thumbnails when uploading images on your iPod, which you could choose both globally with a redesigned preferences dialog and per image from the filechooser. “Fit” is the default behaviour used by GPixPod until now, “Zoom” is what iTunes uses most of the time, and “Stretch” is just there for completeness, since you don’t really want to forget about ratio.
GPixPod 0.5.0 introduces a new basic command line interface that is activated automatically simply passing option to gpixpod, /usr/lib/gpixpod/gpixpod.py or /usr/lib/gpixpod/gpixpod_cli.py. Please either look at the manual page or launch gpixpod –help to get explanation of the options with details; don’t use any option to start GPixPod normally with the regular GTK graphical user interface.
Using the new CLI interface you could also take advantage of a new basic synchronization possibility, that automatically avoids to upload again images already stored on your iPod, checking filenames already processed by the script.
This release provides better packaging in both python and debian ways, and other fixes, too.
