I have just installed the October 30, 2023 Dragonized Edition. I have downloaded “Rapid Photo Downloader” with the ad/remove app. When I try to open RPD, it does not open. How do I get it to work? I have since installed and removed and installed a couple of times and it still will not work. Thank you. When I click on it to open, it very briefly shows an icon and then nothing.
Have you tried running from the command line?
It will likely print out some error message.
Also check if it writes some log file.
And, please provide the garuda-inxi output, maybe it’s just some outdated library.
That is, make sure the system is up to date.

Not sure what inxi is. From command line I get this:

Have you rebooted (very) lately?
This looks like the root of the problem: Python library types-python-dateutil is outdated (should be at least version 2.8.10) or not found at all.
Why so? Let’s find out.
fish❯ pacman -Si python-types-python-dateutil
Repository : chaotic-aur
Name : python-types-python-dateutil
Version : 2.8.19.14-1
so, the packaged version is recent enough.
Let’s check the dependencies of rapid-photo-downloader:
fish❯ pactree -s rapid-photo-downloader |grep 'python-dateutil'
│ ├─python-dateutil
├─python-dateutil
I’d say it’s a packaging problem, python-types-python-dateutil isn’t listed.
Try sudo pacman -S --asdeps python-types-python-dateutil then run the application again. Let us know if it works, in case a package needs to be fixed.
It seem to me python-arrow should depend on python-types-python-dateutil.
edit: I now realize that python-types-python-dateutil is only in AUR and chaotic-aur, that is likely the reason why it isn’t listed as dependency in an extra package.
