Package: album
Version: 4.04-3
Severity: normal
This is not the system on which the problem occurs, by the way, but
relevant packages are the same version and I can't use the real one for
irritating reasons.
I have a large quantity of user-submitted content I co-administer using
album (photos/videos/PDFs of activities and events from a frat. As such,
inevitably corrupt files (or misnamed extension-wise files) are
uploaded. Obviously I don't except album to extract uncorrupt versions,
but I would appreciate it if an option were to be implemented that would
allow the software to skip over any file with which it encounters an
error and proceed with the rest of the run. There is a LOT of
content we have (the frosh have recently discovered the joy of high-speed
cameras), and I'd prefer that a single bad apple not spoil the
whole batch.
I debated between normal and wishlist for this, but I do believe this is
subtly different from a wished-for feature. Sorry if this is inaccurate.
If my contributing a patch would make this addition significantly more
likely please let me know, though I doubt I'd have time to do it, in all
honesty. It appears a fairly minor thing to add, since it appears that album
can already handle nonsensical output from convert (which is the problem
I get) in a somewhat graceful manner.

This is not a bug - this is a feature request, the behavior was as intended.
However, the submitter will be happy to note that the feature they've
requested has been added to album v4.06 and will come out with the next
release (as it eventually makes its way to Debian).
Either way, not a bug.
I suppose that makes it either "wontfix" or "fixed-upstream" depending
on your perspective.
