This got me interested. Care to elaborate?
- stevekemp 6y agoI guess there are a lot of photo-managers that let you import your images, tag them, find duplicates, etc. I don't want to touch anything like that - I want to keep my images in a structure that makes sense to me. Keeping my own structure is one reason why I don't use any software that won't work "in-place". So I chose rawtherapee because I can point it at a directory of raw images, get a set of JPGs out, and it won't try to move/file/organize them behind my back. Anyway my structure looks something like: /srv/ /srv/images/ /srv/images/2020 /srv/images/2020/08/ /srv/images/2020/08/05.Claire /srv/images/2020/08/05.Claire/RAW /srv/images/2020/08/05.Claire/JPG /srv/images/2020/08/05.Claire/Results /srv/images/2020/08/12.Sanna .. Basically data-based, but I also create a ".info" directory beneath each per-person tree which will have: location=Blah event=Random Shot|Birthday|Party|Event date=05.08.2020 tags=model,claire,monochrome theme=pirate contact=phone-number|email|address .. Then I have a shell-script that lets me search for all shoots which had a specific location, tag, name, or similar.
- cbsks 6y agoThis is completely off topic, but you’ve triggered me with your date format of 05.08.2020. Why not 2020.08.05?? So much less ambiguity, plus then it will match your directory structure!
