Is ffmpegthumbnailer installed? What happens when you run it from a terminal? Any errors?

Oh, yes, starting with -d (or maybe without too, I didn't try) it seems that for every picture it tries to load i get the message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/rapid/rapid.py", line 422, in do_render
image = create_cairo_image_surface(self.image, image_w, image_h)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/rapid/rapid.py", line 355, in create_cairo_image_surface
imgd = pil_image.tostring("raw","BGRA", 0, 1)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/PIL/Image.py", line 686, in tostring
"Please call tobytes() instead.")
Exception: tostring() has been removed. Please call tobytes() instead.

Maybe this is the thing to be fixed?

Incompatibility with pillow 3.0
Comment by Damon Lynch (damonlynch) - Thursday, 15 October 2015, 15:55 GMT
I'm the developer of Rapid Photo Downloader. I'm sorry to read about the pillow 3.0 incompatibility. I am currently porting Rapid Photo Downloader to use PyQt 5.4, Python 3.4, Python-gphoto2, ZeroMQ and GExiv2; PIL/Pillow have been dropped. While I'm doing the porting, I have no plans to release another version that uses the Gtk toolkit. Will this cause a serious problem for Arch Linux users?
Comment by Martin (grauschnabel) - Friday, 16 October 2015, 11:45 GMT
It's just that I like gtk more, but there are programms using qt, so this will go ok for me.

But how can I fix this issue in the meantime?
Comment by Damon Lynch (damonlynch) - Friday, 16 October 2015, 12:50 GMT
The code requires a small patch to make it compatible with pillow 3.0. I don't know if and how Arch Linux packages patches in the absence of an upstream release.
Comment by Doug Newgard (Scimmia) - Friday, 16 October 2015, 12:55 GMT
Arch tries to avoid patching, but will for things like build issue or major usability issues. It's up to the maintainer if this would qualify.
Comment by Jaroslav Lichtblau (Dragonlord) - Wednesday, 21 October 2015, 21:12 GMT
Damon, any plans releasing new rapid-photo-downloader any time soon? Is the patch available somewhere?
Comment by Damon Lynch (damonlynch) - Thursday, 22 October 2015, 12:44 GMT
Hi Jaroslav, I have released 0.4.11 specifically to fix this bug, which is nothing more than a name change in two Pillow Imaging class methods. Tarball: https://launchpad.net/rapid/trunk/0.4.11/+download/rapid-photo-downloader-0.4.11.tar.gz
Comment by Jaroslav Lichtblau (Dragonlord) - Thursday, 22 October 2015, 17:40 GMT
Damon, thanks a lot for making it easy for me! :)
0.4.11 is packaged and released into [community] repo.

PS: you may want to fix the spelling on your web page, the correct name spelling goes like "Arch Linux"
