Installation

Usage

After installation, photolib provides a CLI tool, photocli. It can be used as follows:

  • photocli checkdupes - scan files and print those not already in the library:
$ find source -type f -exec shasum -a 256 {} \; | tee shas.txt
544b5a4f3898abae73260930ee70931a3992c048649692cef89b37576e886f69  source/2018-12-09 13.52.22.jpg

...

$ photocli -s http://localhost:8080 checkdupes --sha-files shas.txt

  • photocli ingest - import new photos into the library:
$ photocli -s http://localhost:8080 ingest photos/*.jpg raws/*.cr2

...

TODO: implement this

There is some non-obvious behavior in the ingest process that is important to understand. Many photographers shoot in multiple formats, in the sense that one click of the shutter produces multiple formats. Jpeg and Raw is common. During ingest, photocli assumes that files with the same filename are multiple formats of the same image. E.g., if you have both IMG_1234.JPG and IMG_1234.cr2, the two images will be grouped in the library. This combination action is only applied during ingest; images already in the library that happen to share a filename with a file being imported will not be merged. To add a format to a photo already in the library, see photocli addformat.
