Photos appear multiple times

[Toby Long-Leather]

My camera saves files as a .RAW and .THM file, where the .THM is a thumbnail jpeg. I then develop the .RAW image into a .JPG file. Both the .THM and the .JPG files are scanned by Elisa, and both are displayed in Photos.

I have developed a simple patch that ignores certain files/directories based on an entry in elisa.conf

Sample snippet from elisa.conf:
[directories]
video = [u'/home/tobyll/Videos']
pictures = [u'/home/tobyll/Pictures']
music = [u'/home/tobyll/Music']
# Any files that match one of the following regexps will be ignored by the media scanner. N.B. ^=start of string, $=end of string
ignore_file_regexps = ['/Raw/', '\\.thm$', 'AlbumArt.*\\.jpg$', 'Folder\\.jpg$']

The ignore_file_regexps will ignore any path that contains a directory called Raw, any file ending in .thm, and also the AlbumArt*.jpg and Folder.jpg files

This is my first time coding in Python, so please check the code carefully!

Looks like your patch is reverted: it is not a patch against upicek (the development version), it is a patch against your work to recover the state of upicek.

I had a quick look at the code, it looks okay, but I cannot test it at the moment. Thanks for your contribution anyway, we'll take the time to try it out.

I've added a Bazaar branch with the fix in it, and requested that it be merged. The fix also now contains config_doc and default_config entries, so that automatically generated elisa.conf files will automatically contain the correct entries.
