Greetings Fedora community, I am the developer of Rapid Photo Downloader. The package for it in Fedora is about two years old, and crashes during start-up under Python 3.10.
As the subject says, I'm looking for a provenpackager to update the package. I'm posting this message here at the suggestion of a fellow PyQt developer who unlike myself is a Fedora expert.
I filed a bug report last year but the maintainer has been unable to work on it: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2031866 Meanwhile, two months ago Neal Gompa made this pull request to update it: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/rapid-photo-downloader/pull-request/3
The current release is 0.9.33. Compared to the Fedora version, it requires a new package in Fedora: https://github.com/damonlynch/showinfilemanager
Unfortunately I'm unable to volunteer my time because I managed to injure my hands while working on the code earlier this year. Serious typing injuries are not fun. :-( (I'm dictating this using a voice recognition program under Windows.)
Fun fact: Fedora was the first distro to package Rapid Photo Downloader.

I hope you get better soon! Also I really wish there were better Linux speech recognition options.
I submitted "showinflemanager" as a package to fedora any review are welcomed.

I'm a provenpackager, but so is Neal, so I just pinged him to see if he wants to merge and push an update.

Ouch, hope you recover soon! Also, I'm hugely impressed by how well the email is formatted, I hope you didn't have to do that much correction by hand.
Best regards,

I've submitted the updates to fix it for F35 and F36 with Onuralp's help.

Hi,
any chance the Rapid Photo Downloader could be updated for Fedora 43?
I'm a photo enthusiast and have been using this application for my work flow for many years now.

I don't see it in Fedora repositories proper, what package is it part of? Have you checked current bugs to see if there's a tracker for the latest version?

Looks like rapid-photo-downloader is orphaned then retired 2025-Aug-20, so this is no longer available for Fedora 43 and above.

To import this package again for Fedora, re-review is needed.
