Also, is there any documentation for this dialog, I'm not sure what the option 'Repeat images' does!

Thanks for your help.

Can you please update those action lists.

Thanks

 sudo port install py26-pil py26-wxpython 

If you didn't install it previously, it will fetch, build and install python2.6, among other dependencies.

Then launch Phatch from its directory :

 python2.6 phatch/phatch.py 

PS Phatch is a nice piece of software, my best regards to the devs.

I'd settle for a macports configuration… then at least it would check dependencies during install. I think I have three different versions of python on my system now, because wxpython wanted one, PIL wanted one, and I updated other packages on my system at about the same time and that got a different version, too (2.6). When I use macports to install PIL, it seems to want python 2.4. I installed 2.5 with wxpython, but that was because I wasn't sure which version of wxpython to install (I could choose 2.5, 2.6, or 2.8).

Thanks for your fast reply. Of course I'd accept to be a beta tester. I send you the information via PM.

Regards, Claude

We are currently working on a making a Mac app file for phatch. Would you like to be a beta tester when the app is available? If yes would you send me your email address to notify you when it is available?

Thanks,
Nadia

I found Phatch by googling, and I thought this was a very interesting tool - exactly what I was looking for… unfortunately I did not manage to install it on my iMac running on Snow Leopard 10.6.2.

I must admit I am very new to Phyton, and with the few instructions I found on the web site (1- install Phyton 2- install wxPython 3- install PIL and finally do pythonw phatch.py) it only generated lots of errors in a terminal window… After trying for a couple of hours, I gave up…

Any who can give me advice on how to get it installed?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Claude

I have a dual screen setup but if I am able to position the image with the other attributes working even just on the primary display, I'd be glad to have that!

I've removed the "inode/directory;" entry in the "MimeType" section…
As a result it does show up in the context-menu of image-files, but it doesn't show up in the context-menu of folders… Exactly the way I wanted it to…

Registering menu entries and file types is done in the same file, so unfortunately that can't be optional.

Maybe this could also be a feature request, the ability to choose in the preference if Phatch should add the Context Menu Item or not…

 <Exif.Image.Model[-3:]> 

Note this this will only work in phatch 0.2!

So, I want my filename to change from
myimage NIKON D90.jpg (where "NIKON D90" is the model)
to
myimage D90.jpg

Thanks.

What Phatch version are you using?

When the program runs other errors or warnings come up but it does at least do the watermarking successfully. I have not tried the others yet.

Advice welcome

Afterwards download it from here and try again:

Go inside this folder:
cd C:\phatch\phatch

and start phatch:
python phatch.py

Paste back the error you get.

I downloaded the first link under Windows on the "Install" wikidot page - "phatch-dependencies-win32-py26.zip", and installed the four dependencies in the order noted in the readme, then installed the 3 "optional" programs, too.

These files are saved in C:\Python26
Does the "phatch-0.1.6" directory need to be saved in a particular place?

- One thing that may have impacted, is that, when installing wxPython, there was a checkbox at the end, which "changed all .py files to .pyc". I'm not sure if I should have left this checked, or if I should have changed phatch.py to phatch.pyc. -

If neither of those appear to be the answer, I'm keen to uninstall and re-install to try again - would the normal Windows "Add/Remove Programs" be applicable here, or would it be more in-depth?

Please subscribe to the blueprint. The more subscribers, the more we will take it in consideration.

Some questions:
- You don't want the images deleted from the images folder right?
- Does your images folder has subfolders?
- What condition should be used? filename, modification time, …

Could you post me in a private message who you are?

I'd like to explain my idea about what I miss in Phatch, but before I'd like to thank to everyone that contribute this great tool.

I mainly use Phatch to make a "copycat" version of /images folder, into a /light_images folder. Why? I use it to quickly see my photos from other computers in my network. You know, WiFi, Disk, 10Mpix photos,…everything counts to slow every picture load.

So that, from my 50% photos folder, I can quickly run F-Spot, Picasa or whatever visor very well.

I'd like Phatch to "detect" that new photos have been loaded into my /images folder, and automatically resize and copy them to /light_folder.

Would be possible? Useful? It least, YES to me.

Thanks

This really made my day… :) Thank you, lots!

Could you send me your email in a private message? You have to click the top left combobox where it is saying select. The crop action is available in phatch 0.2 which release is already finished and stable but only available through bazaar:
bzr branch lp:phatch

I can email it to you if you want. Phatch 0.2 has many new features and I would recommend it strongly over Phatch 0.1

I am running OSX 10.5 and have found that only a handful of actions appear in the GUI add to list - whereas I see a lot more in the actions folder.

How do I get to use all actions?

BTW, I notice there is no crop.py - should there be?

Many thanks.

Sorry about the large image, I have a 22" widescreen. I will add your website to the bottom of the description in Ultamatix prior to release.

Thanks again,

TheeMahn

This is probably not the right place to do this, but I would like to say thanks. I am the creator of a Linux distro called Ultimate Edition, Ultamatix and many theme packs (which I used phatch to convert 14,000 icons to match the Halloween theme I am currently making). Phatch converted them in color to orange all but 429 of them a tremendous savings in my time. Interlaced PNG's were the only issue phatch had. Although my needs were simple they were many, I could not find a windows tool to accomplish this task & nearly lost hope.

Thanks again,

TheeMahn

 sudo apt-get install python-wxgtk2.8 

… and see if it runs fine afterwards.

I tried your action list and it works fine.

What comes to those Library actionlists. Simply all seams to go through, but nothing really hapens.

System is Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) and Phatch is installed from your PPA.
I had to install it using apt-get to overcome the keyserver problem. (Your PPA key fetch timeouts using the command given in the usage help)

"PS. Just tried those library actionlists and none of them work either."
Can you provide more details?

Is it possible for you to verify this?

Phatch seems to ignore EOS 450D EXIF image orientation… So I wanted to check if phatch is supposed to be able to understand image orientation or if I should make a feature request :)

//DGnome

PS. Just tried those library actionlists and none of them work either.
PS. PS. If you have something for me to try out just ask.

What operating system are you using?

could you suggest me how is possible to compress (saving file) the tiff format by phatch?

I've seen that it's possible, but i don't understand how..:-\ (http://photobatch.wikidot.com/action-save)

many many thanks!!

All these are very common, I haven't had any monitors that used any of the other ones and I don't know anyone who has.

 X = ['800', '1024', ...] Y = ['600', '768', ...] 

Also all of them might be too much, it is about the most frequent ones.

Thanks in advance for improving Phatch!

Please test.

There is even a separate imagemagick action.

Please test.
