Release notes 

By popular demand, allow direct downloading from cameras. This support is experimental and may not work with your camera. See the changelog for more details.

If you use a Canon 20D or 300D, it will not work. See this bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=582266

The other big change is that bug #368098 has been fixed. This means those who download from hard drives with many files will notice a big difference in program responsiveness.

This beta contains many changes from 0.0.8. It has been thoroughly tested, but some things may not work that worked well in 0.0.8. Please file a bug report if you find a bug like this. Please run the program from the command line and copy and paste the output from the command line,as this includes diagnostic output.

There is not need to run python setup.py install if you simply want to test it. After uncompressing the tarball's contents, run from the command line:

./rapid-photo-downloader

Don't forget the ./ to make sure you run the copy from the tarball, and not whatever is already installed on your system path.

Version 0.0.9 beta 2
--------------------

2009-05-12

By popular demand, allow direct downloading from cameras. This support is
experimental and may not work with your camera. This is possible through the use
of the new gvfs service, provided by gvfs/GIO, that exists in recent versions of
Linux. A recent version of Linux is a must. The camera must also be supported by
libgphoto2 in combination with gvfs. If you cannot browse the camera's contents
in a file manager (e.g. Nautilus), the camera download will not work until the
gvfs support is improved.

Although this is a popular request, the reality is that
downloading images directly from the camera is often extremely slow in
comparison to popping the memory card into a card reader and downloading from
that.

Fix bug #368098: the program now starts more quickly and does not become
unresponsive when scanning devices with a large number of images. This will
hardly be noticeable by users that download from memory cards, but for those
who download from hard drives with hundreds of GBs of files -- they'll notice
a big difference.

Fix bug #372284: for image renaming, the "image number" component is more
robust. Now, only the series of digits at the end of a filename are recognized
as the image number (obviously the file's extension is not included as being
part of the filename in this case). This allows takes in account files from
cameras like the Canon 1D series, which can have filenames like VD1D7574.CR2.

Bug fix: don't download from volumes mounted while the program is already
running unless auto detection is specified. This bug could occur when auto
detection was enabled, then disabled, and then a volume was mounted.
