phatch freezes near the beginning of a resize operation

Terry of Astoria 27 Jan 2008 22:45

I have installed the ubuntu package phatch_0.1.bzr255-1_all.deb
on my Gutsy laptop. I tried a resize operation - I specified pixel width. The save action I left unmodified. Whether I specified a height or not, phatch froze approx 0.5 sec after initiating batch.
Here's the shell output.

me@asterix:~$ phatch
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/phatch/pyWx/gui.py", line 294, in on_menu_tools_execute
    base.apply_actions(action_list,self.settings)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/phatch/core/base.py", line 331, in apply_actions
    if skip_existing_images and is_done(photo):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/phatch/core/models.py", line 80, in is_done
    if not os.path.exists(filename):
NameError: global name 'os' is not defined
TypeError: close() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)

me@asterix:~$

Here's a screenshot.

The error log remains empty.
This would be just what I need! What I do rong? loi
Thanks much!

You do nothing wrong, it was me ;-) Right now Phatch downloads are bleeding edge, so you are both a user and a tester. Anyway, I fixed it in the new Phatch release 0.1.bzr271. This is a major new step, as phatch is from now on usable on servers without a gui. Try "phatch —help" at the command line.

Thank you! I'll go get the new release right away.
Seriously, this will be very useful to me.

What will be usefull for you? Phatch as a GUI or as a console program for servers?

They both would be invaluable since I do a lot of stuff directly on the server. Even at home I love using CLI tools;a very satisfying experience is issuing one command to do what in Windows required a few heavy gui-based programs. Converting media, etc, etc.
I'm setting up an online store with lots of images. Custom tie-dye. I was about to go learn Imagemagick when I found phatch.
I think it would be nice to set up a batch in the GUI and then run it in the console on the server or wherever. Actually that would be sweet since I could upload a group of photos and the run a batch on the server, saving myself a few hours of uploading time on my dirt-slow Charter cable upload.

Nice! It is indeed the purpose to make the action list in the GUI (that is where Phatch is easier than imagemagick) and than to run the action list on the server. Please send me your email through a private message on wikidot. I am especially looking for testers on the server. Note that it is better not to install the deb file on the server, as it will install the gui. Let's get in contact.
