Hajo,
please test the new 0.5.1 version which asks for correct Glade dependencies. Your problems with the GUI missing some parts (specially the buttons in the filechooser) were related to a minimum dependency on python-glade2 2.8+

Hi redondos,
if you prefer using the command line interface, you could force your iPod model with the option -m Nano. I discovered that with recent Apple firmware updates, the model autodetection stops working: so it’s mandatory to manually select the iPod model, otherwise it would take the 5G settings as default.

Hi,
please try the new 0.5.1 version configuring your iPod model to Nano in preferences! This should help, it should work flawlessly.

Hello, and thank you for this great app.

I own a 4GB Black Nano, and uploading pictures using the CLI tool seems to be successful. However, when I unmount the iPod and check the album, it contains blank thumbnails (and blank pictures, for what it’s worth).

If I use the GTK interface, it warns me about having an “iPod None” and wants to exit immediately. Nevertheless, it is able to show the pictures that I had previously uploaded using gpixpod_cli just fine, full resolution and all.

Any hints? I’d appreciate it if you notified me to my e-mail address. Thank you.

Sorry, me again. Tried again and I think that actually this is more appropriate, especially when the FileChooser comes up which is supposed to open a photo:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/lib/gpixpod/gpixpod.py”, line 769, in ShowChooser
self.chooser.get_widget(’imagebehaviourexpander’).show_all()
AttributeError: ‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ’show_all’
looking for type: got text/plain

Seems like I have a major issue with gpixpod on FC3 — In the File-Open & File-Save dialogs, I don’t see a “Open/Save” button, I.e. I can not load/save any file

Here’s the cmd-line output which I guess is related to this issue:

(gpixpod.py:5871): libglade-WARNING **: unknown property `urgency_hint’ for class `GtkWindow’

(gpixpod.py:5871): libglade-WARNING **: unknown property `pack_direction’ for class `GtkMenuBar’

Thanks for explaination.

I will try to reproduce the bug and post the log ASAP.

Regarding gtkpod integration:
Currently (CVS) gtkpod is divided into a library libgpod and UI gtkpod. I want to suggest integration of the gpixpod functionality into the library.
I may be wrong at assuming that Python programs can access C libraries.

Hi,
it eats power when opening and saving because the thumbnails files are decomposed and then rebuilt.
May you help me to reproduce the crash you get? May you post a bug report on SF with command-line output and .gpixpod.log file?
At the moment it is not possible to integrate gtkpod and gpixpod together because of different programming language, C and python. But the code could be translated at some point, maybe, or I will add music and video management. Time will tell!

Your is a good software. I used it with iPod Video

I have few comments.

1. The app eats up CPU when saving and reading the photo database.
2. It crashes when adding large number of photos.
3. Currently gtkpod is one stop media manager for iPod. Can your app (once it becomes stable) be integrated with it?
