FID: Error when pandas is not installed

[fr34q]

When starting qkit, I get this error:

Exception in thread creating_db:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Turns out I hadn't had panda installed. Having a quick look at the File info database (FID) script, it looks like pandas is optional (in a try catch block), so I guess this error should not appear.

Hey Richard,

yes that's a bug and has to be fixed. In the meantime, can you just install pandas?

Sure, that's what I did. I just wanted to write down this edge case somewhere as it is not experienced that often.
