I am using libgpod-0.6.0 and gtkpod-0.99.12, compiled from source on a recent LFS (Linux From Scratch) system. My iPod is a xA002 Model (5th generation video, 30GB, white). I started with a blank /dev/sdX2 iPod partition and created successfully directories on it via gtkpod. But there are currently two problems with gtkpod I would like to resolve: 1. I can mount the iPod and "Load iPod(s)" seems to work too. When I try to access the contents of my iPod by clicking on "iPod" to the left of the window, the files are displayed in the list, but gtkpod hangs for about one minute. After that, it seems to function properly. 2. I cannot see any photo functions in gtkpod, although my 5G iPod and the software versions (0.6.0 and 0.99.12) should be photo-enabled. Any hints appreciated, Michael |

What should happen is a photo node will appear under the ipod node in the left window. Clicking that will display a photo window. If it is not being displayed then need to look at why.

Thank you for your reply! It took me a while to respond. > The hang maybe the sha1 hashes being calculated on the contents > of the pod.

I can resize the window, but the contents are not redrawn until the "hang" of about one minute is over. I tried this also on an older hardware, Pentium I, same binary, with the same effect, only that it lasts longer. And the calculating of SHA1 hashes is different, since gtkpod shows a dedicated progress window. > What should happen is a photo node will appear under the ipod > node in the left window.

Photos work now! Thank you for the hint! Regards, Michael |
