Exception while displaying tooltip for thumbnail from removed device

[Marc Sitkin]

After ejecting first SD card and inserting a new one, screen shows photos form first card before second card images, Kicked out a bug report, which I've saved and attached.

Running Manjaro Linix 20.2, XFCE DE

[Damon Lynch (dlynch3)]

Photos form first card before second card images is not a bug. See the program preferences for how to handle the display of previously completed downloads:

The other aspect of your report is a bug, however. Regarding the removed device, did you eject (unmount) it using the desktop's device removal function, or did you remove it without bothering to eject it first? It's unclear from the log file.

Hi Damon-

Thanks, I'll change that preference.

I ejected the first card via my file manager before inserting and mounting
the second.

I've recently switched from Gnome DE to XFCE DE, and noticed that RPD no
longer shows my memory card unless I open it in the file manager first.
Any idea how to change that behavior?

It's difficult to say what caused the change in auto mount behavior with your move to XFCE from Gnome. As I understand it, XFCE is not auto mounting the device, and therefore Rapid Photo Downloader does not respond to the insertion. When GIO is running, Rapid Photo Downloader is designed to wait for GIO to automount the inserted device, because that is what GIO is designed to do. This behavior of Rapid Photo Downloader is actually critically important when GIO is running under Gnome. If it does not do this, things break.

As far as I know, while XFCE uses GIO under the hood, it does not develop GIO. Gnome develops GIO. GIO might have changed how it works, and XFCE has yet to catch up. Or maybe XFCE decided not to automount inserted devices anymore. I don't know, which makes it difficult to distinguish between genuine changes in desktop behavior, or actual bugs in GIO / XFCE.

Hi Damon-

Thanks for the info. I found a panel in the setting area of XFCE called
"removable drives and media". I checked " Mount removable drives when
hot-plugged" and " Mount removable media when inserted". This allowed me to
see the drive in RPD. In RPD, I then switched off "Scan only specific
folders on devices" which allowed me to add the device to the "Remembered
Devices" area.

The SD card now shows up on launching RPD as expected.
Still working on getting RPD to launch when a card is inserted. That's a
challenge for another day!

Stay well.
