Converting old Collections to Catalogs
Last modified: 2010-07-21 18:34:57 UTC
Created attachment 160758 [details] Convert *.gqv files to new *.catalog XML format Gthumb <=2.10 had a feature named "Collections" Now, as far as I understand correctly, this functionality is moved to plugin named 'Catalogs'. Gthumb need a some kind of conversion from old "Collections". I have wrote a simple python script. It will convert *.gqv files to *.catalog. You just need to run it like this: "python gthumb-convert-collections.py" No arguments needed. I understand that this script cannot be used in official gthumb releases, but it may be helpful anyway.
Paolo, it would be great if you could put scripts like this in a new toplevel directory, say "extra", in the sourcecode, which would be installed at downstream's discretion. For Debian, I would take such a script and put it somewhere under /usr/share/, and point users there if they need it. Thank you! David
It would be better if these were converted silently and automatically, without need for extra scripts... - Mike
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
