Changelog 

View the full changelog

ExifTool is now a required dependency for Rapid Photo Downloader. ExifTool
can be used to help download videos on Linux distributions that have not
packaged hachoir-metadata, such as Fedora.

Exiftran is another new dependency. It is used to automatically rotate
JPEG images.

Fixed bug #704482: Delete photos option should be easily accessible -

Added a toolbar at the top of the main program window, which gives immediate
access to the most commonly changed configuration options: where files will
be transferred from, whether they will be copied or moved, and where they will
be transferred to.

Please when the move option is chosen, all files in the download from a device
are first copied before any are deleted. In other words, only once all
source files have been successfully copied from a device to their destination
are the source files deleted from that device.

Fixed bug #754531: extract Exif.CanonFi.FileNumber metadata -

Added FileNumber metadata renaming option, which is a Canon-specific Exif value
in the form xxx-yyyy, where xxx is the folder number and yyyy is the image
number. Uses ExifTool. Thanks go to Etieene Charlier for researching the fix
and contributing code to get it implemented.

Fixed bug #695517: Added functionality to download MTS video files. There is
currently no python based library to read metadata from MTS files, but ExifTool
works.

Fixed bug #859998: Download THM video thumbnail files -

Some video files have THM video thumbnail files associated with them. Rapid
Photo Downloader now downloads them and renames them to match the name of the
video it is associated with.

Fixed bug #594533: Lossless JPEG rotation based on EXIF data after picture
transfer -

There is now an option to automatically rotate JPEG photos as they are
downloaded. The program exiftran is used to do the rotation. The feature is
turned on default.

Fixed bug #859012: Confirm if really want to download from /home, /media or / -

It is possible for the program's preferences to be set to download from /home,
/media or / (the root of the file system). This can result in the program
scanning a very large number of files, possibly causing the system to become
unresponsive. The program now queries the user before commencing this scan to
confirm if this is really what they want to do.

Fixed bug #792228: clear all thumbnails when refresh command issued.

Fixed a bug where the device progress bar would occasionally disappear when
the download device was changed.

Fixed a bug where the file extensions the program downloads could not be
displayed from the command line.

Fixed a bug where the program would crash when trying to convert a malformed
thumbnail from one image mode to another.

Updated Czech, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Norwegian,
Polish, Serbian, Slovak, Spanish and Swedish translations.
