Hi

First i want to say that phraymd is a wonderful tool to index and search pictures, great job people!

ok, now the issue... everytime i try to write a change in the tags of a picture, phraymd freezes...
I am running the last version of phraymd on Linux version 2.6.26-2-amd64 (Debian 2.6.26-19lenny2)
Its not a permission issue.
Also i sync the phraymd and pictures dirs with my netbook (32bits, debian squeeze)  and it runs fine there...

Any clue?

Thanks in advance
Federico Castagnini

Hi Federico,


>I am running the last version of phraymd on Linux version >2.6.26-2-amd64 (Debian 2.6.26-19lenny2)

I could be wrong, but I suspect this is an upstream issue with pyexiv2 -- the lib used to write metadata to images. Perhaps a 64 bit incompatibility.

Does this happen for all images or just some? Can you post a sample image somewhere?

cheers,
Damien

Thanks Damien

it happens with all the images.
This image for example has some tags that i add with my netbook, but i cant edit anything in the 64 bits machine...
This for example http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/88/28manning190.jpg

Basic check:
Python 2.5.2
pyexiv2 0.1.2-4+b1

this versions are enough?


cheers,
Damien

Can you try running phraymd from the terminal, try write some tag
changes and see if you get any error messages. I haven't been very
careful about displaying messages for all errors, so you may not, but
it's worth a try.

The good news is that a new version of pyexiv2 has been released, so I
will be devoting some time to work on metadata handling soon and
hopefully resolve this problem in the process. This version of pyexiv2
brings XMP support.

thanks spills

i forget to talk about the news...
i couple of days ago i update my debian stable to testing, an then to sid (unstable), due to certain requirements, and i found that suddenly phraymd start working fine (also in testing).

older versions that reproduce the fail:
Python 2.5.2
pyexiv2 0.1.2-4+b1

The new versions that work for my are:
python2.5                               2.5.4-3.1
python-pyexiv2                          0.1.3-6

i hope this be useful for someone.
Thanks again!
Fede
