@davisonio can you link to or email me the photo which caused this error? jaisen (at) jmathai (dot) com

Hi @jmathai - just hit this error myself. Easy to replicate:

$ mkdir /tmp/dest $ mkdir /tmp/source $ touch /tmp/source/notaimage.jpg $ elodie.py import --destination="/tmp/dest" /tmp/source/

Thanks @srynot4sale. Merged your PR and added a few tests.

@davisonio can you pull and verify that you no longer receive the error?

Yes I no longer receive the error anymore.

Thanks so much @jmathai and @srynot4sale :smile:
