Proposal for load actions

sophacles 05 Apr 2008 18:01

Hi, i just registered a blueprint at https://blueprints.launchpad.net/phatch/+spec/load-photo-actions and would like to hear feedback about it. The full description is at: http://photobatch.wikidot.com/photoloadactions

I am able and willing to take on this work myself, but I would like some comments on it first (the biggest being wether it would be accepted or not :) ). This requires some changes to phatch itself, so I would of course want to work with stani on this.

Thanks
Erich

Hi Erich,
This is a very interesting proposal. For the first version of Phatch I had to put limits so that is why the images were restricted to local files on the hard drive. It would be indeed be nice to integrate Phatch in applications such as digikam or f-spot (maybe with Phatch plugins). Right now I am concentrating on bug fixing and packaging for Hardy. Your blueprint interferes with some other ideas (such as external actions), but with a good design everything should finds its place. Let's have a Phatch sprint in the near future.

Stani,

A sprint sounds good to me. I'll read up on the various blueprints again to get a better idea of where phatch is going. Id like to request about a week of warning before a sprint so I can clear up my schedule or (if my schedule is unforgiving that week) try and convince the participants to change times.

Anyway, let me know.

Completely unrelated to the above:

in phatch/pyWx/lib/vlist.py on lines 45-46 I had to do the following change:

self._color_from    = r, g, b = wx.SystemSettings_GetColour(
                                        wx.SYS_COLOUR_MENUHILIGHT)

beomes:

self._color_from    = wx.SystemSettings_GetColour(wx.SYS_COLOUR_MENUHILIGHT)
r, g, b             = self._color_from.Get()

For phatch to play nicely on my debian testing system. The version of pywx im using is 6.6-gtk2-unicode. The tuple unpacking may be a new feature in 2.8, or this may be a bug someplace else. Either way, thats the only major error ive encountered so far.

Regards,
Erich

OK, don't worry. Tell me when you are ready.

By accident I fixed that bug already in bazaar:

bzr branch lp:phatch
