Should not overwrite output file(s) #130

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Process a photo set with one GPX and generate KMZ
2. Process a photo set with a second GPX and generate KMZ

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected: Two KMZ files, or (better) one file with all photos
Actual: One KMZ file with the second data. Data from first is lost.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Windows, Win7 x64

Please provide any additional information below.

I don't have the intention to create multiple versions of all the output data 
for each try. Original data are always preserved if "backup pictures" is kept 
checked. 
As you're on windows maybe check http://www.geosetter.de/en/ He has lots of 
option but i don't know for the one you're looking for.

I am not looking for "multiple versions of all the output data for each try."

I should have added more detail I suppose:
* If a file is to be overwritten, it is standard procedure to warn about that.
* The GUI does not make it clear which photo(s) are being processed in any 
given run

Between those two, it is ultimately very confusing using this software, at 
least in my situation.

What I have, which I believe is pretty typical...
* A single trip data collection, including:
* A large set of photos
* Several GPX files that together cover the whole trip

What I want of course is ultimately a way to see the whole set. 

I don't see how to do that with your software, so I attempted to create a KMZ 
for each GPX, applying the whole set of photos each time.

But because of the above issue, it is hard to produce the result.

I'm not sure why you're creating a KMZ for each GPX but since version 1.05 
(june 2007) you should be able to select multiple GPXs at once by using the 
Ctrl button when you click on the GPX files in the same folder (ctrl is 
standard for multiple files selection).

"If a file is to be overwritten, it is standard procedure to warn about that."

I understand now what you request but for me it's part of the iteration process 
to retry if you find the time difference doesn't match.  I don't wish to add a 
popup window at each "guess" since you can always go back by giving the 
previous input infos and that the originals are preserved.  

"The GUI does not make it clear which photo(s) are being processed in any given 
run"

I'm surprised. It took me some real efforts to show in real time what happens 
under the hood of the GUI which is rare for a GUI app (see the console info 
window in the center),

(you can also stop the real time processing at any time by clicking the "stop" 
button)

"ultimately very confusing using this software"+"not user friendly",...

I'm sorry this app made you lose your time. Please realise this a Free and Open 
Source software I wrote a long time ago in my free time when I couldn't find 
one which suited my needs. Since then I've learned to stop releasing publicly 
the new utilities I write as I can't satisfy everyone. 

Thankfully there's been lots of software written on the subject since then. I 
already mentioned this one in a previous ticket to you: 
http://www.geosetter.de/en/
and I had a list here,
https://code.google.com/p/gpicsync/wiki/OtherGeocodingSoftware

Sorry again about that, thanks for your feedback on the software and for your 
comprehension.
