Elodie acts as if PNG files do not exist.

[lreinink]

I've used Elodie to organise my pictures. This included some screenshots I made on my computer, which are in PNG format. I noticed that Elodie acts as if these do not exist. They show up as 0 completed 0 error. Is this intended? What would be the best course of action?

Edit: I just read your blog post and I see that this is indeed intentional, to make sure that no unwanted images from the Downloads folder are imported. What would be the best workaround for this?

May I add that also TIFF and probably DNG file are ignored?

The supported file types are here.

• DNGs - supported.
• PNGs and TIFFs - I'm not sure if they contain EXIF but worth double checking. A simple way to check is adding it to the list I linked above.

jmathai, thank you. This worked for me. the PNG files do contain exif, but all locations are unknown. This is to be expected, however.

@lreinink 👍. if you made any changes locally that worked for you then let me know and if it's useful for others it would be great if you could submit a pull request.

I did exactly what you proposed, I changed extensions = ('arw', 'cr2', 'dng', 'gif', 'heic', 'jpeg', 'jpg', 'nef', 'rw2') in photo.py to extensions = ('arw', 'cr2', 'dng', 'gif', 'heic', 'jpeg', 'jpg', 'nef', 'rw2', 'png') and reran elodie on the missed files.
