Cannot get it working

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Trying to send you the following email, but not sure of address?
====================

Hello Francois,

Just discovered your program, which looks as if it will be very useful - if
only I could get it working!

It is GPicSync  0.98-2 - 2007.

I have tried several different sets of photos and associated GPX files, but
on clicking Synchronise! I just get "Beginning synchronization with UTC
Offset =0 hours and maximum time difference = 120 seconds". I also tried
various entries in UTC offset, and numbers up to 1200 instead of 120, with
same result. 

'Create a log file in picture folder', 'Dates must match', and 'backup
pictures' are checked. But I see no log file after I use Stop. Or any
'backup pictures' (where are they supposed to be placed BTW?).

My GPX files open OK in Memory-Map, GPS Utility, and Google Earth. My JPG
photos have EXIF data.

The log file (which I found in the Program Files folder, not the picture
folder) has lots of entries like these:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "gpicsync-GUI.py", line 381, in sync
AttributeError: 'GUI' object has no attribute 'gpxFile'
Unhandled exception in thread started by <function sync at 0x01B271B0>
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "gpicsync-GUI.py", line 381, in sync

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "gpicsync-GUI.py", line 381, in sync
AttributeError: 'GUI' object has no attribute 'gpxFile'

I am running an Athlon 1800 1 GB PC under XP Home (SP1).

Can you help me to identify and fix the problem please?

Best wishes,

Success! Using that same example for which I attached the files (3 photos and a 
GPX)
I have now done my first succesful run. Excellent, thanks. Not sure what I was 
doing
wrong before, as I seem to be using same settings...

Presumably my photos come with scroll bars in GE because they are large? (2048 x
1360).  Automatic resizing would be a neat feature! (rather like Panoramio.)

Hi Terry and thanks for your detailed feedback and data.

I've also tried with the data you provided and it worked fine for me like for 
you now.

From the log you've sent back it looks like GPicSync couldn't read properly the 
gpx
file in your first attempt 
(since it is the first step of the sync process nothing happened after, I'll 
add a
warning in a future version if the app. catch this problem).

If you still run into this kind of problems don't hesitate to send me the data.

They are re-sized to 800 to 600 pix for now  depending on which side was 
longer. If
you have a relatively  smlall screen the sliders will appear.

There are small thumbnails if you do a Google Maps export (but you need to put 
it on
a web space):

But I'll had also thumbnails (larger) for the Google Earth export soon I think.

Thanks again for your feedback and don't hesitate to join the GPicSync Google 
Group
if you have questions or feature requests.

Thank you Francois. I think I'll soon become a keen user of this great tool!

BTW, my photos appear without scroll bars as soon as I remove the GE left pane.

Unfortunately, the GPX I'm working on right now (before I went off to install 
and
play with GPicSync) is a track I *drew*, having forgotten to take my GPS unit 
on that
day's walk.  So although I can plot it in GE, Memory-Map, etc, I can't locate 
my 50
or so photos on it. So if you want a real challenge for your Wish List...!

I usually know the start and finish times, and maybe a few other locations with 
known
times, from the EXIF times of photos taken of recognisable places, or detective 
work
on things like the receipt I get on finishing a pub lunch, etc. Given that sort 
of
'base data', I wonder how easy it would be to get all the trackpoint imes 
estimated
and entered automatically into the GPX file?

But basically I suppose it's a sort of 'best fit' application, so maybe it's a 
job
for Excel, followed by manipulation/editing...

Best wishes,
