    This error is already fixed and should be updated in the ubuntu/debian packages very soon. As long you only can fix it yourself by editing the file /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/photofilmstrip/AppMixin.py (as root) and change the line (31)
    lang.install(True)
    to
    lang.install()

      Unfortunately no result but if I change it in file
      /action/Action18N the program will start

    On Kubuntu 20.04 (LTS) with photofilmstrip version 3.7.2.1 from standard focal repo (no package conflicts shown) i also get this message:

    Traceback (most recent call last):

    Unfortunately there is no such line containing "lang.install" in AppMixin.py

    just found it in ActionI18N.py.
    But i think it would be nice for all the other users not to have to edit a file in an LTS version.
    Maybe an AppImage would be a good compromise for compatibility across the many Linux-Distributions .

    Hi,
    the easiest way would be to install photofilmstrip via apt-get with all dependencies suggested by apt-get (that means wxPython 4.0.x respective deb package python3-wxgtk4.0)
    Unfortunately the photofilmstrip package in 20.04 missed an update so you may edit the file
    "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/photofilmstrip/action/ActionI18N.py" navigate to line 43 and change the line "lang.install(True)" to "lang.install()" (remove the True).

    if you install wxPython via pip you get the newest version 4.1.x. But then you need to run/install photofilmstrip from source as well. The Ubuntu packages still ships the version wxPython 4.0.x.

      Hi Jens,
      thank you for the fast reply. I use Ubuntu-20.04 (Mate) and the most up-to-date version of photofilmstrip available via the official repo is 3.7.2-5a61cd0 – hope this is rather recent.

      NB: As you recommended, changing line 43 in "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/photofilmstrip/action/ActionI18N.py" from "lang.install(True)" to "lang.install()" was easy. First start ... runs instantly and as expected.

      Will dive into it next weekend, thanks again,
      too
