What would be the alternative to easily search through meta data of thousands of photos? Is there a non-proprietary database (engine or schema?), or other format that is scalable enough? I doubt that storing everything as a sidecar would be fast enough.
- DidYaWipe 2y agoValid question. How fast does it need to be, though?
- ako 2y agoI see a lot of performance complains from people with 75k+ image libraries, so performance should be considered when storing image (meta)data.
- ako 2y agoJust for info, just did a quick test: the digikam 'proprietary' database is a normal sqlite database that you can easily open and query in standard tools like duckdb. So pretty accessible, much better than some proprietary binary file, or using exif tools on 1000s of photos.
