I paid for Photostructure but stopped using it and am stuck. It's my favorite self hosted photo app iv'e found but have major issues with it. It seems to have bugs with the periodic scanner and importing. Something in my very large collection (134k photos) kills it and it stops importing. Everything imports fine but all of a sudden it just hangs. Bummer right?

Howdy, I'm the author: have you tried the latest alpha build? (My personal library is 500k assets, so 134k should be fine, especially if the library db is on SSD). Literally every PhotoStructure version has made improvements to avoid sync from "getting stuck." See https://photostructure.com/about/2023-release-notes/ https://photostructure.com/about/2023-release-notes/ for examples. I've got: 1. Timeouts on literally every operation, with retry heuristics based on _how_ it timed out 2. A persistent work queue, so reboots can continue where it left off 3. A persistent progress queue, so you can watch progress on the home page 4. A watchdog service to kick-restart sync if it gets "stuck" 5. Sync reports (in CSV format) that you can open and see what it's doing at a very granular level (updated as progress is made) If you're still stuck with the latest alpha, please do report it either on https://forum.photostructure.com https://forum.photostructure.com or on https://photostructure.com/go/discord https://photostructure.com/go/discord
