Please provide a flatpak

Open leofontenelle opened this issue 2 years ago • 6 comments

Thanks for the app, it does deliver what the name promises. I would like to use it in a few computers at home which are running Endless OS. Unfortunately, this Linux distro lacks a package manager: the system is updated via OSTree, and packages are installed through flatpaks, usually via Flathub. Rapid Photo Downloader's installation script does not work out of the box in Endless OS, and the missing dependencies can't be installed without turning Endless OS into some sort of Linux From Scratch. In summary, please provide a flatpak for the app, directly or (preferably) via Flathub. Thanks!

You are welcome to implement the flatpak support yourself. If it works well and is sufficiently robust, it can be incorporated into the project.

I cannot do this because I injured my hands while working on the source code for the program earlier this year. I am dictating this response with a voice recognition program.

maybe some depencies missing for ginspection not realy sure i'm not a developer what do you think @damonlynch ?

@yodatak All the software requirements are listed in the README.

Keep in mind that for the program to even operate, any confinement barrier needs to be opened so that libgphoto2 can detect and communicate with cameras, udisks2 can detect and communicate with hard drives, and probably a few more like that.
