Will you have support for handling duplicate images? People are either super organised, or the complete opposite. When you have multiple copies for backup and then want to consolidate to a library you want to hide your messiness.
I've been struggling to find a tool that handles that handles the duplicates problem within a web interface. I've been experimenting with some approaches including perceptual hashes and was wondering if that's something you'll include?
Is there any way to use metadata from Lightroom Catalogs, or enable people tagging in your current implementation?
- damianmoore 7y agoI definitely hear you regarding duplication. This whole project evolved from a script I wrote to do just that. There is a concept of multiple versions (files) of an image so different edits with the same metadata timestamp will show only once and you'll be able to select the preferred one. I prefer to handle things this way to start and then suggest deletions based on same hash rather than deleting up front. I don't have any experience of Lightroom but I can have a go at reading the files if you think it's useful.
- zerkten 7y agoI like your approach. I'll play around more with your app. Thinking about the LR catalogs, I wonder how much is tied up there versus being written back to image metadata. It's probably better to see what data is there and recommended workflow before spending too much time.
- jonathankoren 7y agoI have something that works fairly well for duplicates and automatic organization based on date. It’s python, so you can try integrating it, but it’s not a module, just a single file script. https://github.com/jonathankoren/photo-autorganize https://github.com/jonathankoren/photo-autorganize
- damianmoore 7y agoThank you. I'll definitely check it out.

- mceachen 7y agoOMG, me too. @damianmoore, I've banged on this issue for > 2 years now and have a pretty solid deduping algorithm. I'd be happy to share what I've got with you.
- damianmoore 7y agoCool, share or PM me a link and I'd love to take a look.
- mceachen 7y agoYou don't have any contact info here or on github (or in whois). Feel free to DM me @ https://twitter.com/mrm https://twitter.com/mrm or send me an email.
- damianmoore 7y agoFace detection and recognition is definitely planned and looks like it should be entirely doable.
