workaround : you can drag'n'drop a "folder album" on the add button "+" ...

BTW, it seems that you got a problem of version between pygtk and gtk
what are your version ?

Hi,
  The drag'n'drop didn't work.  How can I find out the version for these typing gtk
--v or gtk --version didn't help... thanks

I also experience this issue, in my case on Gentoo Linux downgrading the gtk+ 
package
to align with the pygtk version fixed the issue for me.

Issue 43 has been merged into this issue.

As per new info in Issue 43 deleting ~/.jbrout/jbrout.conf fixes this issue for 
one
import and then issue is back.  

Note: the same thing does not fix the identical issue in the download plugin.

for info :

since 0.3 jbrout use dict4ini backend to manipulate "ini files"
(in 0.2 he used a home-made backend)

As I wrote in Issue 43, when I start jbrout, it is possible to use the "Add 
album"
action effectively (but only once), but not if I have navigated in the albums 
before.
So it can work even though there is a mismatch between pygtk and gtk, which 
made me
think of some initialization or context (haven't looked at jbrout code, 
though...)

I believe this has something to do with the background loading of the thumbs. 
The
function __load_thumbnails_bg() in listview.py should yield False upon 
completion.
Here's a patch.

It seems that the background loading of the thumbs is interfering with the gtk
filechooserdialog. As a workaround, I tried stopping the background process 
before
displaying the dialog and then re-starting the process afterwards. Here's a 
patch.

Please ignore my first post :)

Thanks for the patch it also works for me.  There is also the same problem with 
the
file chooser in the download and multi-export plugins, and this treatment dose 
not
fix those issues.  
It looks like the file chooser generically has problems with tasks running in 
the
background.  

I have been working on a replacement file chooser which should be complete later
tonight so will likely use that in all three places.  

Patch committed for add folder selection in r170

Just in case you would want the gtk filechooserdialog back... just in case :) 
...
here's a patch (against Rev 169).

Moved the thumbs loading background task to a separate thread instead of the 
loop
inside the call to gobject.idle_add().

Ok with Add folder, download and multi-export plugins.
