Re: [ANNOUNCE] Ansel-A: Digital Darkroom for the N900
 

Would love to try this app, had the same issues as bernardis but solved it by removing and installing with -f.
But now I get a black-ish screen with a black square on it and some menus but it's non responsive.
When I start it from xterm I get these messages:
Error: FileImageOpen: /root/ui/resources/Ansel-A-Default.jpg
Error: Init Fail

Any ideas?

I've been looking forward to your release on this ;) Tried it out in the early stages, but it was to chubby and no safe option, so uninstalled it. But thats history now and i will try it out :D

Good job lostinmirkwood ;)

Could you tell me how you're installing it? Ergh, This seems to be becoming an issue.

I'm re-re-editing my initial post with install instructions.

Edit:
I think you running as root and then running the ansela.py file directly, with python ansela.py?!

ui/resources/Ansel-A-Default.jpg is a default image, (the black-eyed-susan photo), that exists so that if you have no photos you can load something. It by default lives in /opt/ansela/ui/resources/Ansel-A-Default.jpg and far as the system sees it's a relative path of ui/resources. (to find that file, I use the python call os.getcwd()+"/ui/resources/")

If you are running as root then your getcwd directory would be /root not /opt/ansel/ as set by the .desktop file.

I'm not sure why you're running from the command line, but try cd /opt/ansel and run from there.

otherwise just click on it in the menu/shortcut

Good Job lostinmirkwood..I really like this application..!!!

I feel I should buy you a beer..!!!

Only one small issue I face...when I start the Ansel-a application, it sometimes shows my desktop screen and after some time Ansel-a launches...Initially I thought it crashed, hence I again clicked the same, but later on I was having two instances of Ansel-A running...

I guess this is not Ansel-A problem..This I have obseved after PR 1.2 upgrade ..not only for Ansel-A but for few of other applications too..!!!

mikec blubbi and attila77 debated this at length in this thread, it's a startup issue of PyQt, this wiki shows there's ways around it, I just haven't gotten that far yet.

The beers sounds good though, I'm having a few myself right now to celebrate.

@lostinmirkwood installed it from extras-testing and i've had no problems with the app, it works just fine ;)

Very nice looking app you have build here and works really good to :D

I have done exactly the same thing!!:D (and i solved it too)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Ansel-A: Digital Darkroom for the N900
 

I haven't tried MyPaint. I mostly use Gimp through Easy Debian which is awesom but not native. You notice that by the UI which sometimes not work good on this small screen.

Ansel-A has a great UI why i was thinking a basic paint/edit function would ad a lot. Still it is a fantastic program what it got already.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Ansel-A: Digital Darkroom for the N900
 

I have just tested it. This app is awsome and exactly what i was looking for, THANKS A LOT!!!!!!!!!!!
