Ignoring Missing Photos

[reidit]

I've just been trying to use your exportiphoto.py utility but keep hitting a crash at the same point during the processing. I have iPhoto '11 so it may be that your code doesn't work fully with this?

Here's what I get:

 Processing 30 of 210: Roll 112 (5 images)...
 Created /Users/peter/iPhoto Export/2002None12None24 Roll 112
Traceback (most recent call last):

 File "exportiphoto.py", line 575, in copyImage
   library.copyImage(imageId, folderName, folderDate)

   fsrc = open(src, 'rb')
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'/Users/peter/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Masters/2002/Roll 112/DCP_380_1.jpg'

Whilst it's likely that the problem is with my iPhoto library index, it would be useful if exportiphoto could be told to ignore such missing photos and continue exporting.

Thanks.

...yes, confirmed with iLife '11.

Apparently some file are missing in the iPhoto directory structure. Problem does not go away if you repair the iPhoto database.

I'm having the exact same issue, again with iLife '11. @eblass, @reidit have you found any workaround for this?

You can have a look at this pull request, it worked for me with only one adition to the code!

Thanks.

Thanks @esalgado!
