As I said, using that most stuff works (including opening JPG-images), just one thing that does not work is the "File Digest" feature. It throws the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "G:\sherloq\gui\sherloq.py", line 327, in open_tool
    tool_widget = DigestWidget(self.filename, self.image)

    table.append([None, self.tr("MIME type"), magic.from_file(filename, mime=True)])
AttributeError: module 'magic' has no attribute 'from_file'

As I said I'm no longer sure what steps exactly I did, just wanted to throw this in because it might still be helpful here :)

GuidoBartoli · 2021-09-20T21:36:35Z

yes, that worked.

Ok, I will update the requirements_win.txt accordingly, thanks.

However trying to load a .JPG image, I get an error "unable to load image!" - without any further details.

That's strange, I can load JPG files without problems... Can you please send me the image that you can't load?

As I said, using that most stuff works (including opening JPG-images), just one thing that does not work is the "File Digest" feature. It throws the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "G:\sherloq\gui\sherloq.py", line 327, in open_tool
    tool_widget = DigestWidget(self.filename, self.image)
  File "G:\sherloq\gui\digest.py", line 37, in __init__
    table.append([None, self.tr("MIME type"), magic.from_file(filename, mime=True)])
AttributeError: module 'magic' has no attribute 'from_file'

As I said I'm no longer sure what steps exactly I did, just wanted to throw this in because it might still be helpful here :)

Many thanks for this report, I think that the fixed requirements should solve both problems, I will commit an update very soon.

Hello, excellent software, thank you for sharing. I installed on windows and am seeing both the errors:

ImportError: failed to find libmagic. Check your installation

Which I was able to fix with:

pip uninstall python-magic
pip install python-magic-bin==0.4.14

but the other issue still persists:
AttributeError: module 'magic' has no attribute 'from_file'

cheers

I have the issue above and can't use your solution because I get this error:

pip3 install python-magic-bin==0.4.14
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement python-magic-bin==0.4.14 (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for python-magic-bin==0.4.14
