pyGTKtalog 1.0 RC1
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
pyGTKtalog is Linux/FreeBSD program for indexing CD/DVD or directories on
|
|
filesystem. It is similar to gtktalog <http://www.nongnu.org/gtktalog/> or
|
|
gwhere <http://www.gwhere.org/home.php3>. There is no coincidence in name of
|
|
application, because it's ment to be replacement (in some way) for gtktalog,
|
|
which seems to be dead project for years.
|
|
|
|
FEATURES
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
- scan for files in selected media
|
|
- get/generate thumbnails from exif and other images
|
|
- most important exif tags
|
|
- add/edit description and notes
|
|
- fetch comments for images made in gThumb <http://gthumb.sourceforge.net>
|
|
- add/remove unlimited images to any file or directory
|
|

|
|
- and more :)
|
|
|
|
REQUIREMENTS
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
pyGTKtalog is written in python with following dependencies:
|
|
|
|
- python 2.4 or higher
|
|
- pygtk <http://www.pygtk.org>
|
|
- pysqlite2 <http://pysqlite.org/> (unnecessary, if python 2.5 is used)
|
|
|
|
Optional modules:
|
|
|
|
- PIL <http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/index.htm> for image manipulation
|
|
- pyExcelerator <http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyexcelerator> for export to
|
|
excel capability
|
|
|
|
Additional pyGTKtalog uses pygtkmvc <http://pygtkmvc.sourceforge.net> by Roberto
|
|
Cavada and EXIF module by Gene Cash (slightly updatetd to EXIF 2.2 by me) which
|
|
are included in sources.
|
|
|
|
pyGTKtalog extensivly uses external programs in unix spirit, however there is
|
|
small possibility of using it Windows (probably with limitations) and quite big
|
|
possiblity to run it on other sofisticated unix-like systems (i.e.
|
|
BeOS/ZETA/Haiku, QNX or MacOSX).
|
|
|
|
INSTALATION
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
You don't have to install it if you don't want to. You can just change current
|
|
directory to pyGTKtalog and simply run:
|
|
|
|
./pyGTKtalog
|
|
|
|
That's it. Alternatively, if you like to put it in more system wide place, all
|
|
you have to do is:
|
|
|
|
- put pyGTKtalog directory into your destination of choice (/usr/local/share,
|
|
/opt or ~/ is typical bet)
|
|
- copy pyGTKtalog shell script to /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin or in
|
|
other place, where PATH variable is pointing or you feel like.
|
|
- then modify pyGTKtalog line 6 to match right pygtktalog.py directory
|
|
|
|
Then, just run pyGTKtalog script.
|
|
|
|
TODO
|
|
====
|
|
|
|
PyGTKtalog is still under heavy development, however there is small chance to
|
|
change structure of catalogs (and if it'll change, there will be transparent
|
|
function to update DB schema).
|
|
|
|
For version 1.0 following major aims have to be done:
|
|
|
|
x searching database
|
|
x tagging files
|
|
x remove nasty bug in redraw of tag cloud
|
|
x file details:
|
|
x files properties
|
|
x thumbnail
|
|
x description
|
|
x edit note and description
|
|
x exif information
|
|
x gthumb integration
|
|
x adding images
|
|
x generating/saving thumbnails
|
|
x moving hardcoded files extensions into config
|
|
x statistics
|
|
|
|
There are still minor aims for versions 1.x to be done:
|
|
- consolidate popup-menus with edit menu
|
|
- add popup menu for directly removing tag from tag cloud
|
|
- implement advanced search
|
|
|
|
Legend: [-] not done, [x] done.
|
|
|
|
For version 2.0:
|
|
- Icon grid in files view
|
|
- command line support: query, adding media to collection etc
|
|
- internationalization
|
|
- export to XLS
|
|
- user definied group of tags (represented by color in cloud tag)
|
|
- hiding specified files - configurable, like dot prefixed, cfg and manualy
|
|
selected
|
|
|
|
Removed:
|
|
- filetypes handling (movies, images, archives, documents etc). Now it have
|
|
common, unified external "plugin" system - simple text output from command
|
|
line programs.
|
|
- anime/movie
|
|
- title
|
|
- alt title
|
|
- type (anime movie, movie, anime oav, anime tv series, tv series, etc)
|
|
- cover/images
|
|
- genre
|
|
- lang
|
|
- sub lang
|
|
- release date (from - to)
|
|
- anidb link/imdb link
|
|
Maybe in future versions. Now text file descriptions/notes and tags have to
|
|
be enough for good and fast information search.
|
|
- file information (date, size, etc) (50%) (no need for?)
|
|
|
|
NOTES
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
Catalog file is tared and optionaly gziped sqlite database and directories with
|
|
images and thumbnails. If there are more images, the size of catalog file will
|
|
grow. So be carefull with adding big images in your catalog file!
