Hello!

I got this error when I try to start photocollage :

-------- Output error -------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "./photocollage", line 21, in from photocollagelib import gtkgui File "/home/xxxxxxx/Programmes/PhotoCollage-master/photocollagelib/gtkgui.py", line 25, in import PIL.Image ImportError: No module named 'PIL'

-------- End of output error --------

I have this when I download the archive or when I install it manually.

Hi! Thanks for this program, it looks really neat and seems to do what I want. I really appreciate your efforts.

Every time I try to make a collage, I get this error:

I am able to open the images in eog and display them in the browser, so I think they're good. But it'd be cool if there was an option (or by default) to simply ignore images that aren't working for photocollage.

Thanks again, hope you have a nice day.

I would like to be able to create European sized posters (A3, A4 etc). It would be great to be able to set the aspect ratio about 1:1.414 for A4, for example so that the posters are the right shape for the destination printout.

Many thanks!

More than an issue is a feature request: would be nice if it work with Drag & Drop images from nautilus itself into the "poster area".

Thanks, C

Try to install using pip failed on my system. You probably need to add a dependency on DistUtilsExtra. (Solved using apt-get install python3-distutils-extra)

After installing it fails to start with another missing dependency (PIL). (Solved using apt-get install python3-pil).

Same as #67 but also drops support for EOL versions.

Thanks for this application. It is really good and useful! I just found one issue when using it. Using from commit e2d61fcf6c24c38cb693fde143b54c5dcdf6e31e (Sun Nov 22). Save poster dialog shows the Poster height field disabled, so I cannot freely choose the dimensions of the final image. Is it possible to choose width and height independently from each other? Thanks!

I noticed that I cannot drag and drop images from a directory containing an umlaut (Käsekuchen) into the program, it would tell me that the file does not exist and show the path in question in apparently different encoding, I guess latin1. This means that somewhere the filename gets treated with the wrong encoding. Renaming the directory to Kaesekuchen fixed it.

Hi Adrien,

I realised that the functionality #10 has already been implemented just after I did it myself. My solution is very similar to the one provided by jdavidberger, with the difference that there's no need to press the CTRL button to move the image.

For more info see the description below.

Any reason why the other pull request wasn't merged yet? Furthermore how long usually take for the update of the apt repository?

Kind regards Antonio

Commmit Comment: The Photo object has been updated with two extra properties: offset_w and offset_h which represent respectively the offset on the width and the offset on the height of a photo within their frame. The offset value must be a number between 0 and 1:

• 0: means the photo is not cut on the left (top) but is fully cut on the right (bottom)
• 1: means the photo is not cut on the right (bottom) but is fully cut on the left
• 0.5: is the default value and means the photo is centered
• any other value betwen 0 and 1 will move the photo within the frame A public move method has been added to move the photo within the cell.

ImagePreviewArea.SWAPPING has been renamed as SWAPPING_OR_MOVING because when clicking, moving the mouse and realising will trigger two different actions: - SWAPPING: if the release of the button is done on another cell - MOVING: if the release of the button is done on the same cell The method ImagePreviewArea.button_release_event() has been accordingly modified.

The method RenderingTask.resize_photo() has been modified to take the offset in account.

Hello,

there seems to be an issue with running PhotoCollage 1.3 on Python 2.7. The urllib.parse import works different compared to Python 3.

Would it be possible to fix the import in gtkgui.py in a way that it works for both versions?

Thanks & kind regards, Matthias

Avoid "OSError: broken data stream when reading image file" on truncated files; instead, try to continue reading the file if possible.

Fixes #65.

I'm using the Miniforge Python distribution on an M1 Mac. All dependencies appear to be available. I made a minor change to artwork.py (see #82), adding gi.require_version('GdkPixbuf', '2.0'). I get the following:

$ python3 -m photocollage.gtkgui
$

It immediately exits with exit code 0 (EXIT_SUCCESS). No window appears.

All features have been tested and are working.

Integrates the following features:

• Added commandline tool: https://github.com/adrienverge/PhotoCollage/pull/70
• Create config class, to handle session and parameters to filesystem: https://github.com/adrienverge/PhotoCollage/pull/60
• Now remembers last visited directory: https://github.com/adrienverge/PhotoCollage/pull/52

Adds:

1. Reset Button - removes all images from collage in one click.
2. Modern development workflow for Windows, using VSCode and Docker devcontainer. Also includes test images from public dataset.

I love PhotoCollage, and have used it many times now. One feature I wish to be implemented is a zoom of the canvas. With the window full screen on a modern high res display, the canvas remains the same size. This is ok when there is a low count of photos, but unusable with a higher count. Thank you!

Edit: Removing a photo enlarged the canvas to the window size.

If the image isnt centered, all the proposed outputs might show an empty non-useful view... It would be nice if we are allowed to apply some changes manually to pics such as moving them within their frame to have the correct output
