Only as a last double-check (afterwards I will give it up):
-is there someone having indexprint running on a 64-bits env? (I'm running 64-bits Windows 10)

Hi Dinasset.

Indexprint is working on both windows-7 64 bits and Linux 16.04 64 bits with Gimp 2.8.20. Indexprint installs on Linux easily but do not forget to install pyexiv2 also it is just a known little bug. On windows it is a little bit more complicated as usual.

To see what is going wrong start Gimp within a terminal in Linux, start Indexprint and examine its output.
On windows start also the terminal go to the root and type the following: gimp-2.8 > error.txt 2>&1. Start Indexprint and quit and quit Gimp. Look in the root dir for error.txt and examine. Oke in both situations the text produced could be cryptic. Never mind send it to me or post it here I'm the maintainer/developer of Indexprint.

For debugging I like to know your operating system and your Gimp version (number, official one, Partha compile, and so on). And what you have installed (with version numbers) so far. Unfortunatly I can not test windows 10 I don't have it but I know it runs on windows 10.

Hi rich2005,

Thanks.

Thanks, but I decided to give it up, I can survive also without Indexprint.
Intricate filters are not "bread for my teeth" as we say here. I like better plug-ins which install themselves without so complicated dependencies and interrelationships.
Thanks anyhow.
If you are now the developer, I hope you will sooner or later rewrite it with a more "easy" construction.

Hi Dinasset,

That is oke. I think I make one big zip file (for windows) with all the dependecies in it. It is impossible to make one big installer but.... if you download the extension pack installation will be easier (http://registry.gimp.org/node/27656). It contains not the latest version but who cares.

For Ubuntu (or Xubuntu 16.04 I have) installing Glade is not necessary. But using package center (I use synaptic package center) install pyexiv2 and libglade2-0. The last one is absolutly necessary it is not installed by default anymore

And for those who likes to experiment there is a new version with a very very basic (not working correctly) preview window.

It seems to me that Kubuntu installs libglade2-0 by default. Xubuntu doesn't.

As you wrote earlier, always worth running in a terminal to see what is missing.

However for python-glade2 , libglade2 is a dependency which will be pulled in even for Xubuntu. Perhaps it depends which package manager you use.

Hi moroquendo,
run the pack, a few quick comments:
1- after this autoinstallation indexprint works (at least I did one try and got the sheets); GOOD NEWS!
2- contactsheet (the predecessor, also auto installed) abends when selecting the source folder (tried many times)
3- for the rest I have to check about possible duplicates installed by the package
MANY THANKS!

I copied.


So whole process stops here.

Thanks Graechan.
As I wrote, after the extensions pack installation suggested by moroquendo Indexprint is now running.
What is not running is the predecessor, ContactSheet: it shows up but after the input folder selection it abends (=ends abnormally).
When I'll have some time I'll try to understand why.

Graechan, do you have also ContactSheet running in your system?
From my first analysis, it seems "contactsheet.mo" is missing from the installation and I do not find it anywhere on internet; do you have it?

Always good to know, thanks.
I will make an investigation to rewrite the installation procedure.

Good to hear.
Contactsheet is not maintained any longer.

If you have Lineborder 2 running Indexprint v3 and 4 will run too. Both programs have the same dependecies.

@moroquendo
OK, just to know, even if no more maintained: do you have an idea while "contactsheet" as downloaded/installed by the extensions pack does abnormally terminate after selection of the input folder?
note that if I do not select any folder the filter starts (without obviously continuing but starts), while if I select a folder from the top down list the filter does not even start (I put a "gimp-message" at the beginning saying "starting", and it doesn't show up).
Also the .mo file is not installed with the pack.

The .mo file is only necessary for translations, default is English.
Why contactsheet is not installed correctly I do not know. I have to install contactsheet first on my system to see what goes wrong.

OK, thanks
