I'm in exactly your situation (possibly worse), so I quit my office job to build PhotoStructure. https://photostructure.com/about/introducing-photostructure/ https://photostructure.com/about/introducing-photostructure/ I've been letting people use PhotoStructure for free during the beta in exchange for their feedback. Know that this next release will be the last beta release before general availability. There will be free and paid subscription tiers (with discounts given for feedback, and when your friends and family also become subscribers). If you sign up for the beta, I'll be sending out installation instructions when I release the next version, which I expect to be within the next week. Here's what's coming soon: https://photostructure.com/about/release-notes/ https://photostructure.com/about/release-notes/

Yes, I've seen and tried it, but it is not very user-friendly. The first time I installed it (on MacOS) I have told it to import all media, but this is not what I wanted; however I can't find a way to reset the preferences and define the import directories again. Each time it just informs me that it will update the libraries and gives me an option to quit but not to change. It's very frustrating for a piece of software that is supposed to be "simple to use".

  Please send me an email if you've got any issues: support@photostructure.com (this sort of feedback is exactly what I'm looking for from my beta users!) The system settings on Mac are here: https://photostructure.com/getting-started/advanced-settings/#system-settings https://photostructure.com/getting-started/advanced-settings... Shut down PhotoStructure, delete that directory, and if you want to reset your library, delete the `.photostructure` directory in your library (everything in there is reproduced during the import), and restart PhotoStructure to start from scratch.

    Thank you, I figured it out now. I still think it would be useful to have an option to open the app without completing the indexing, or maybe having the indexing running in the background, or at the very least resetting the preferences at startup.

      Indexing and version migrations happen in the background already, and progress is shown on the home page. You can pause indexing via the system tray menu, and there's an advanced system setting to prevent sync runs from starting at launch. Please email me if you have any other issues or feedback!
