Best way to import Albums?
Most of my family
's photos are currently in Nextcloud in the format
./YYYY/MM/img-date-time.ext
./YYYY/MM/img-date-time.ext
Currently importing these as external libraries and it
's working great
.
I have another set of assets that are old and lacking in metadata organised in folders like
:
-
./Event-YYYY
./Event-YYYY
-
./Birthday-YYYY
./Birthday-YYYY
And wondering how best to import these and retain the current folder structure
.
Prior to the release of the libraries feature I was going to use the read
-only mode and utiise the
--album
--album
CLI parameter
, but I
'm a little uncertain of the read only modes future
.
Related question
, is there any documentation on using the CLI to manage assets with the new Libraries feature
?
