RE: [support-gang] XoPhoto needs a few intrepid testing volunteers.
Hi George, I downloaded XoPhoto this evening. It looks great and I am looking forward to playing with ... oops! i mean, testing it. Do you have a discussion page set up somewhere so those of us who are trying it can compare notes and trouble shoot? What we might think is a bug could just be us doing something wrong. It would be great to be able to compare notes.

Re: Re: Re: Re: XoPhoto needs a few intrepid testing volunteers.
I'm guessing you might want to automate that a little, in a pickup/cleanup after self when you are done... Since there are duplicated datastores, the journal and sqllite, how do you manage repairs and backup of sqllite? dump sqlite to journal periodically so that it's backed up in another form/ location?

Re: [support-gang] XoPhoto needs a few intrepid testing volunteers.
Hi George, I'm really excited about the release of this version of XoPhoto. The timing is really great because I have been meeting with a local (to Washington, D.C.) nature photographer who is adept at getting grants to deliver digital photography experiences to at-risk youths. I will be setting up another meeting with her to demo the activity. We still have around 20 XO-1 laptops in our lending library that would be great to use in an outdoor photo exercise with kids.

Re: XoPhoto needs a few intrepid testing volunteers.
I took a brief look at it on a fedora 64 sugar emulator (luckily it doesn't have a camera hardware dependency 8-) CPU utilization fairly high on it for a while, iirc and may have crashed sugar, will see if indeed it does it again, to bug report somehow. Glad to have another activity, even if in alpha/ beta.

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Xophoto Runs OK on XO1 OS373pyg Unfortunately it saves 11 photos to the journal every time it starts. There is no way to easily delete multiple journal items.

Re: Re: Re: XoPhoto needs a few intrepid testing volunteers.
Hi Tony and all, This is the way I think XoPhoto works, and does for me on build 850 1.5. When XoPhoto loads, it checks for at least 10 images, (mime_type .png,.jpg,.tif). If there're not enough to play around with, load 11. If there are more than 10, don't load the journal with anything, just create the thumbnails, and store them away in sqlite database. The storing in the journal takes time, and the thumbnail generation does also. Thereafter, at startup, look for recent images, stop when datastore find returns one you've already seen (assumes most recent first, which is, I think, the design). So your observation is interesting. I haven't experienced multiple copies of the test images in the journal. I think I would have noticed that, because I've been working so hard on latency, I've been paying pretty close attention to delay. I also looked back in my journal, to make sure I wasn't missing something. But I don't want to discount the possibility that os373 is different. The journal images can be deleted pretty easily, when the user is done with the (currently non-existent) tutorial -- just drag the images to the trash, and then empty the trash.

Probably the best description is at http://georgejhunt.com/olpc/xophoto/xophoto.html. The screenshots look interesting, so I'd like to try it out. However I can't find it on activities.sugarlabs.org and neither your mail nor the URL you mentioned above gives any indication of where I can either download a bundle or access some VCS. I'd appreciate help in identifying and correcting my oversights, bugs, kludges. . . The instructions on setting up the Pictures folder look dubious. What exactly are you trying to achieve? Maybe we can come up with a better way to handle it. You mention that you create a thumbnail for every picture in the Journal. Is this only for those without an existing preview or for all of them? BTW, since this is about software, not hardware, I'd suggest to move the discussion to sugar-devel.
