Best way to import Albums?
Most of my family's photos are currently in Nextcloud in the format
./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
- ./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 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?2 Replies
Hm. Maybe adding as external library and generating the metadata as xmp-sidecar?
Or adding the dates batch-wise with exiftool or something similar?
That's an interesting idea, might need to look into that.
