Picture Mode: workflow improvements

The idea of dupeGuru rocks. Yet it falls a little short from the ideal of a really awesome tool for killing duplicate photos. I can see a great side by side pair of previews of images with View->Details. Check,

Now I want to use that Detail view ideally to delete the undesired of the two. With a single click somehow, and then see the view view advance to the next pair in the list.

If I delete the selected file, easy.
If I delete the reference file, the selected file should become the new reference
If there is only a reference left with no dupes remove the reference from the list of dupes and advance to the next dupe set in the list with reference and first dupe proposal in details view.
if I choose not to delete one, I want to indicate a desire to advance
if advancing, then on to the next dupe candidate for this reference, or if none left, remove this dupe group from list (I want to keep them all) and advance to the next dupe group displaying the reference and first dupe candidate.

This would turn dupeGuru into an awesome photo processor, with which I could walk through my camera uploads and quickly trash my way down to the best photos I want to keep.

I want this so bad I'd consider forking, implementing and posting a PR, but there's no chance I'd invest that time without some prior indication of the likelihood of mainlining such a contribution (I don't want to maintain a fork).

It's a good idea! especially for photos. Now I'm wondering why I haven't thought of it sooner. I would merge such a feature yes.

I'm willing to help you if you're stuck somewhere.

OK, I forked and cloned. Then:

$ make

Creating our virtualenv
python3 -m venv env
The virtual environment was not created successfully because ensurepip is not
available.  On Debian/Ubuntu systems, you need to install the python3-venv
package using the following command.

    apt-get install python3-venv

You may need to use sudo with that command.  After installing the python3-venv
package, recreate your virtual environment.

Failing command: ['/home/bernd/workspace/dupeguru/env/bin/python3', '-Im', 'ensurepip', '--upgrade', '--default-pip']

Makefile:75: recipe for target 'env' failed
make: *** [env] Error 1

Any help with that appreciated. I'm pretty savvy with Python, been working on a Django site for a couple of years, but am not so savvy with app development specifics (notably don't know what ensurepip is, or what's failing here).

So I did:

apt install python3-venv

and then:

$ make
./env/bin/python hscommon/build_ext.py core/pe/modules/block.c core/pe/modules/common.c _block
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "hscommon/build_ext.py", line 9, in <module>
    from setuptools import setup, Extension
ImportError: No module named 'setuptools'
Makefile:95: recipe for target 'core/pe/_block.*.so' failed
make: *** [core/pe/_block.*.so] Error 1

So:

$ sudo -H pip3 install setuptools
Requirement already satisfied: setuptools in /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages

So I tried "import setuptools" in both the python3 and python2 CLI and works fine. So a bit stumped and gotta run my 4 year old to school now ;-)

Hum... what is your system, Ubuntu? The problem seems pip-related (the initial failing command is on ensurepip). Maybe apt install python3-pip or something like that? After that, i'd clean the whole repo because it looks like your venv is in a broken state.

Apologies was in a rush. But here's inxi output:

I can use virtual envs fine enough, though don't as a rule. I have one currently in place for mopidy and use the virtualenvwrapper for that.

ERROR: no virtualenv active, or active virtualenv is missing

So everything seems in order there.

but did you try cleaning up the repo? I'm guessing that the env folder created by your first make call is broken.

Not sure what you mean by "clean up the repo" I guess I could just remove it and clone it again?

Spot on!

Build complete! You can run dupeGuru with 'make run'
$  make run
./env/bin/python run.py
QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display
Makefile:50: recipe for target 'run' failed
make: *** [run] Aborted
$

That make run fails is because I'm on a SSH session with no Xterm ;-).

So I VNC'd in and:

$ make run
./env/bin/python run.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "run.py", line 12, in <module>
    from PyQt5.QtCore import QCoreApplication, QSettings
ImportError: No module named 'PyQt5'
Makefile:50: recipe for target 'run' failed
make: *** [run] Error 1

So am missing PyQt5.QtCore. Puzzle as:

$ dpkg --get-selections | grep -i pyqt
pyqt4-dev-tools                                 install
pyqt5-dev                                       install
pyqt5-dev-tools                                 install
python-pyqt5                                    install
python3-pyqt4                                   install
python3-pyqt5                                   install

So not sure what's missing. Can research it though ...

git clean -fxd would have worked also.

As for PyQt5, I'm puzzled as well. It should work. One possibility would be that the python3 -m venv --upgrade --system-site-packages env didn't do its job. One way to test this is to try:

$ python3
>>> import PyQt5

and then:

$ ./env/bin/python
>>> import PyQt5

If the first works but not the second, it's because the --system-site-packages flag wasn't properly set up for the venv. I wouldn't know why though. One quick and dirty solution would be to do ./env/bin/pip install pyqt5 which should work for py35+ according to https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyQt5/5.9

Brilliant. A mystery what's happening here alas, because it's not quite to script.

Both

$ python3
>>> import PyQt5

and

$ python3
>>> import PyQt5

worked fine and seamlessly. Yet make run did not.

So I tried:

./env/bin/pip install pyqt5

for the heck of it and:

$ ./env/bin/pip install --upgrade pyqt5

and now make run works. Am rolling.

This was the minimum to enable a look later at the code and see what I learn. I quite love looking at live projects that have a GUI, tox implemented and a package build as those are all areas I'm weak in. But I'm snowed under too so we'll see. Could happen soon (while I have momentum) or fall by the wayside for a bit.

Hmmm, worth noting quickly for the record only, and as a curio, that I found something odd that I had never seen before and which explains some of the mystery above.

I tend to run with quite a few terminal windows up over a few workspaces. Now as it happens I did a:

mv dupeguru dupeguru.BROKEN

before recloning it.

Now there was one terminal window that was in the dupeguru directory. The prompt and pwd both confirmed. But evidentially (by creating a file) I noticed it was actually in the dupeguru.BROKEN directory. bash got itself a little confused with that mv.

Now, I don't know exactly which step above I did in which term window as one was on workspace 1 and the other on workspace 2, and I was flipping back and forth multitasking as I do. But I noticed it because make run worked, and then a minute later it did not!

I then noticed I was using different terms and tried again and confirmed it worked in one not the other.

So I concluded perhaps a different environment and did env > env.good in the window it worked in and env > env.bad in the other, and then diffed them, or wanted to, and only saw one of them!? Then I looked in dupeguru.BROKEN and found the other one! And confirmed the window that wrote to dupeguru.BROKEN was reporting dupeguru with pwd and in the prompt.

Some really bizarre caching issue with bash. Hmmm ... and an eye opener. Pehrpas I've never tried mving a directory that another terminal was in before ... a lesson learned,

Still while it runs now:

 $ make run
./env/bin/python run.py
QApplication: invalid style override passed, ignoring it.

I still gave this invalid style waning to diagnose some time. The GUI fired up though and works fine from what I can tell.

Sorry this has been a little tricky. A middling experience. I've cloned a lot of repos over time hoping to work on an app a bit, and the good ones, just work (mopidy for example), the lousy ones never work and I just give up (banshee for example) and a middling one has issues but I get it working ;-).
