Picard Qt

PicardQt is a rewrite/port of PicardTagger to Qt including implementations of ideas such as IntuitivePicardInterface, TaggerScript, etc.

Source Code

The code is still very far from finished, but slowly starting to be usable. If you want to help, you can get it from the Bazaar branch:

bzr get http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~luks/picard/qt-port picard-qt

See the Launchpad page for more info about the branch.

Installation

• Warning: This is still in development, do not try to install and use it unless you know exactly what are you doing!

First, download and install these libraries:

• PyQt4
• Mutagen (SVN trunk)
• python-musicbrainz2 (branch "picard" from SVN)

Optionally also:

• libofa
• libavformat/libavcodec
• DirectX SDK (Windows)
• libdiscid for cd lookups.

Then build the C extensions and locales:

python setup.py config
<edit build.cfg if neccessary>
python setup.py build_ext -i
python setup.py build_locales -i

And now you can start Picard:

python tagger.py

Mac OS X installation notes

The Apple supplied python 2.3 in OSX 10.4.x will not work with picard, and some of the dependancies listed above expect a framework version of python. http://pythonmac.org/packages/ provides a framework python 2.4 which seems to work.

If you get stuff like this when installing libofa, you may have to replace ltmain.sh with a newer(?) ltmain.sh from the libtool package:

ld: Undefined symbols:
_create_fftsetupD
