Python traceback on 1.5.2
ElCoyote_
I was one happy iphoto user and now I'm trying to transition away from
it to keep my photo folders clean (That's why I reverted back to
iphoto 7.1.5 after iPhoto 8 messed up my folders).
I started using iphotoexport 1.5.0 and later to dry-run my transition
and see if I can use the cross-platform 'Picasa' to replace iPhoto in
my daily photo usage.
My iPhoto library has about 7k photos, about 300 events and no albums,
faces or smart albums. The iPhoto_Library is managed by iPhoto 7.1.5
and the folders inside the iPhoto_Library bear the names of the events
they relate to. I value very much my folder names and my 'originals'
because I want to keep my pictures (Family and Friends) organized into
folders to avoid being locked-in with a single tool (that's where
iPhoto '09 is going IMHO). Once the transition is satisfactory, I will
ditch iPhoto.
I use iPhotoExport like this:
/Users/raistlin/bin151/iphotoexport.py \
-e . -o -u -d --folderhints --picasa \
/Users/raistlin/Pictures/iPhoto_Library \
/Users/raistlin/Pictures/Picasa_Library
* -e . because my photos are organized into 'events'.
* -o because I want to keep my originals in case I need to revert to
them in the future.
* -u -d because I know what I'm doing. :) :) :)
* --picasa because I'm trying to transition to Picasa and I
want .picasaoriginals folders.
I noticed two issues with iPhotoExport (listed here by severity).
1) when using '-o', iphotoexport will complain that it cannot find
some modified files (the files are present and readable by the current
user) and report errno[2].. If there are many files like that, it will
eventually run out of file descriptors, report errno[24] and exit..
Here's a sample run:
/Users/raistlin/bin151/iphotoexport.py \
-e . -o -u -d --folderhints --picasa \
/Users/raistlin/Pictures/iPhoto_Library \
/Users/raistlin/Pictures/Picasa_Library

Any ideas?

"iPhoto_Library" vs. "iPhoto Library", and also in your event names.
Did you actually rename your iPhoto library folder to use an
underscore? The other thing to double check is upper vs. lower case,
in particular the .JPG extension.
Issue 2) I can fix that. If you feel comfortable editing the scripts,
you can just delete lines 73 through 77 in appledata/iphotodata.py:
face_list = self._data.get("List of Faces")
for face_entry in face_list.values():
face_key = face_entry.get("key")
face_name = face_entry.get("name")
self.face_names[face_key] = face_name
# Other keys in face_entry: image, key image face index,
PhotoCount, Order
Since there are no faces in iPhoto 7.1.5, this code is not needed. I
will patch it up ASAP. Or stick with 1.5 for now.

Hi Tillman,
Yes, I renamed my iPhoto Library from "iPhoto Library" to just
"iPhoto_Library" because I don't like whitespace. :) I changed that using
the following procedure:
$ defaults read com.apple.iPhoto
RootDirectory/Users/raistlin/Pictures/iPhoto Library
$ defaults write com.apple.iPhoto RootDirectory /Users/raistlin/Pictures/iPhoto_Library
$ defaults read com.apple.iPhoto
RootDirectory/Users/raistlin/Pictures/iPhoto_Library
As for the .JPG vs .jpg, I hadn't tought of that. My SONY camera creates
.JPG files and I do have some .jpg files from my previous camera in my
iPhoto library.
Also, -I think - that the HFS+ filesystem that I'm using on my Mac isn't
case-sensitive.. Perhaps that might be the problem. (I read somewhere
that making your HFS+ filesystem case-sensitive - it's an option - could
break some software). I think Leopard creates a case-insensitive HFS+ by
default..

I commented them out and it now runs fine:
wayreth:~ raistlin$ ./bin152/iphotoexport.py -e . -o -u -d --folderhints \
--picasa ./Pictures/iPhoto_Library ./Pictures/Picasa_Library

Speaking of case sensitivity, do you have any idea why the movies get
renamed from .MPG files as "MPG .mpg"?
wayreth:~ raistlin$ find ./Pictures -iname MOV06057\*mpg
./Pictures/iPhoto_Library/Originals/2009/20091207_Neige_Sur_Bailly/MOV06057.MPG
./Pictures/Picasa_Library/20091207_Neige_Sur_Bailly/MOV06057 MPG.mpg

If you know....
Many Thanks for the quick reply,
Best regards from France,
Vincent

iphotoexport use the iPhoto title, regardless of what the actual file
name is in the library, to name the export file. So most likely, the
title in your iPhoto library is "MOV06057 MPG". It then adds the file
extension, .mpg. There is some code around line 363 of iphotoexport.py
that detects such patterns, but it currently only recongnizes image
extensions:
# default image caption filenames have the file extension on them
already,
# so remove it or the export filename will look like "IMG 0087
JPG.jpg"
orig_basename = re.sub(re.compile(r'\.(jpeg|jpg|png|tif|tiff)$',
re.IGNORECASE), '',
orig_basename)
If you add "|mpeg" to that list, it might fix it for you:
# default image caption filenames have the file extension on them
already,
# so remove it or the export filename will look like "IMG 0087
JPG.jpg"
orig_basename = re.sub(re.compile(r'\.(jpeg|jpg|mpeg|png|tif|tiff)
$',
re.IGNORECASE), '',
orig_basename)
