Many path to upload images from

[replay111]

Hi,

is it possible to type more than one path in init file i.e.:

imagedir = /home/my_images/cars,/home/my_images/planes,/home/my_images/kids

or like:

imagedir[] = /home/my_images/cars
imagedir[] = /home/my_images/planes
imagedir[] = /home/my_images/kids

so app could proces a couple path, not only pic from one path?

bearing in mind that I've never done any python before, would this not work?
I think this would split on semicolon

The above will make it find photos in each of the locations but seems to have broken something with the creation of sets.
@richq any ideas?

I've had a quick look and it's nothing wrong with this code. It just adds an outer loop over the semicolon separated strings. I wrote a couple of tests to check that the code works as expected, and the existing (low number of) tests pass OK so there's no big regressions there.

The problem looks to be where IMAGE_DIR is used to get the folderTag. That'd need some fiddling too to get it to work.

Thanks for taking a look @richq

I'm not much of a python programer:
Could images (the list that is returned by grabNewImages) be turned into an array with the original folder and the image itself being added to the aray....
or
Somehow trim back the image path to the one we originally had ..?
