Error: Timezone database download failed #1543
Comments
I cannot replicate this problem. Can you download the file |
Yes, via web browser and via wget. I installed using the geeqie-install-debian.sh script but can try the app image or compile/install from source with --enable-debug-log if that helps. If it's just a matter of putting the db.zip file or its extracted contents someplace that Geeqie can read, I'm fine doing that, too. |
Thanks, but there are no debug statements in that part of the code. I am away from home for a few weeks and have only a small laptop with me. When I get back I will try a Kubuntu install. In the meantime, unzip the file you have downloaded. Copy When you run Geeqie, the text in the Preferences dialog button should have changed from Please leave this open - maybe someone else will have the problem. |
Thanks. Copying I've tried putting into It may be that I am misunderstanding what is supposed to happen. Without the timezone database files in place, the times appear correctly (adjusted for timezone) in the Info sidebar and the Exif/Metadata windows, just not in what I think is called the File Pane. (See screenshot: bits highlighted in yellow are as expected; the bit highlighted in light blue is what I was hoping would change when using the timezone database.) With any combination of the timezone database files in place, nothing changes, other than the button going from I wish I could help troubleshoot, but I have no knowledge of C++. Still, if there is something you would like me to try or test on my Kubuntu system, I am happy to do so. |
The text change from The timezone data appears only in the Info Sidebar and in the Overlay Screen Display. It is described in The date/time in the files pane is the date/time of the file on the disk. I will consider how to improve things. Exif date/time is already in the cached .sim files. Perhaps local time could be included - but increasing cached data may slow things. It may be possible to show the Exif/local time in the files display - I had not considered that. All the photos I take have Exif data. Therefore the disk file time is meaningless - it is the time I loaded the data from the camera to a computer. There is a plugin to set the disk file time to the file Exif time - I sometimes use that. It could be updated to also use local date/time. |
Setup (please complete the following information):
Describe the bug

This happened to me while running Geeqie version 2.2 as well.
