[Damon Lynch <1963694@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am the developer of both the original package and the new dependency.
The heart of the new dependency is code that has been taken from the
original package, and made into a standalone package that command line
scripts and Python GUI programs can use.

In other words, the only reason the new dependency exists is to allow
other developers to take advantage of code that I already developed that
provides a feature found in many programs. In this particular case, that
is the ability to open the user's preferred file manager with one or
more files highlighted in their containing directory.

The rest of the changes in the Rapid Photo Downloader package arise from
high priority bug fixes the Rapid Photo Downloader community has been
requesting for some years, such as the ability to fit the program's main
window onto small screens such as 1024x768, the handling of daylight
savings, and the proper handling of iOS devices. I know they are high
priority fixes because apart from bug reports, I surveyed users and
these are the changes they said they wanted to see done. As well there
are many other small fixes that would make no sense not to include, e.g.
keeping up with recent changes in xsettings when running on high DPI
screens.

Title:
  [FFe] Update rapid-photo-downloader for Python 3.10 compatibility

Status in rapid-photo-downloader package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  [ Explanation ]

  rapid-photo-downloader 0.9.31 has been released for compatiblity with
  Python 3.10. Unfortunately, it also has new dependencies, including an
  entirely new package (in progress, showinfilemanager
  https://github.com/damonlynch/showinfilemanager). As such, these new
  dependencies are to enable at least one new feature in rapid-photo-
  downloader.

  As it stands now, rapid-photo-downloader will fail to run in jammy due
  to the python 3.10 update.

  Original Bug Report:

  To run Rapid Photo Downloader with Python 3.10 (now the default in
  jammy), the rapid-photo-downloader package must be updated to version
  0.9.31. If it is not, it will crash at startup.

  I am the developer of Rapid Photo Downloader and I am happy work with
  Ubuntu packagers to get this done.

  The volunteer Debian packager has not responded to package update
  requests for some months. I think it reasonable to assume he will not
  likely be able to contribute before jammy is released.
