Release 2022.12.0

[Jim Easterbrook]

Friends,

I've just released version 2022.12.0 of Photini.

The main change is that the "descriptive" metadata tab now includes
fields for "alt text" that some web sites use to provide a description
of the image for the visually impaired. This was added to the IPTC
standard last year, but I don't know how widely it's used yet.

As always, please let me know if you find any problems.

Hi Jim

I have just run the update and as I normally do I clicked "About" to ensure it reported the latest version.

Instead I received this error message:
13:27:34: ERROR: photini.pyqt: descriptor 'tr' for 'PySide2.QtCore.QObject' objects doesn't apply to a 'str' object

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "C:\Users\Richard\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\photini\pyqt.py", line 199, in wrapper

return func(*args, **kwds)

File "C:\Users\Richard\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\photini\editor.py", line 269, in about

MenuBar.tr('An easy to use digital photograph metadata'

TypeError: descriptor 'tr' for 'PySide2.QtCore.QObject' objects doesn't apply to a 'str' object

Not sure that I have done anything particularly wrong - and the program itself appears to be working but felt I should report it.

I am running Windows 11 2H22 updates NOT applied. 

Kind regards

Thanks KRW - I thought I'd found all of the 'tr' method calls but that
one escaped. I'll do a patch release.

The 'tr' method (to do with translating the GUI into different
languages) has incompatibilities between the different Python Qt
packages which is why I've tried to replace them all.

Hi

When I used to go to work and we were testing new bits of software they liked giving them to me to break them.  It seems my skills have not gone away!

Many thanks.

Kind regards

A useful skill to have.
