Something seems to be wrong with your system setup regarding notification messages and python. Have you modified your setup in anyway with respect to these features?

Please run the attached python file (test-pynotify.py), and copy and paste the results in this bug report, thanks.

You can run it like this:

[Damon Lynch (dlynch3)]

Thank you. Are you by any chance running the Awesome window manager?

[Kookaburra (dimi-roger)]

No sorry, I have just "Openbox" windows manager ...

[Damon Lynch (dlynch3)]

This is definitely a bug in another library / application, but obviously Rapid Photo Downloader needs to be able to handle it. I've added some code to handle the problem. Are you willing to help test it out?

[Kookaburra (dimi-roger)]

Sorry for late response ;)
Yes of course, I would help you to test it !
If you prefer, you have my e-mail on my launchpad account ! :)
Thanks.

[Damon Lynch (dlynch3)]

Try out the latest release then ;-) Hopefully it will work this time.

[Kookaburra (dimi-roger)]

Sorry, I have the same type of errors with the last release ... :-(
I think I have another bug on my Debian who makes theirs errors, but I don't know how to fix it ???

Thank to Damon Lynch for the solving of this bug by e-mail, good job !

:-)

[Damon Lynch (dlynch3)]

Ok that's great. Sorry I didn't fix it properly the first time! It should
work well now. Please let me know if you don't get any notifications
whenever a download has finished.
