I have some photos from Google Photos that have a JSON sidecar containing geo data:
{
"title": "20181224_135957.jpg",
"description": "",
"imageViews": "0",
"creationTime": {
"timestamp": "1566417420",
"formatted": "Aug 21, 2019, 7:57:00 PM UTC"
},
"modificationTime": {
"timestamp": "1608047282",
"formatted": "Dec 15, 2020, 3:48:02 PM UTC"
},
"photoTakenTime": {
"timestamp": "1545688796",
"formatted": "Dec 24, 2018, 9:59:56 PM UTC"
},
"geoData": {
"latitude": 42.17080577777777,
"longitude": -122.4668395,
"altitude": 1520.721,
"latitudeSpan": 0.0,
"longitudeSpan": 0.0
},
"geoDataExif": {
"latitude": 42.17080577777777,
"longitude": -122.4668395,
"altitude": 1520.721,
"latitudeSpan": 0.0,
"longitudeSpan": 0.0
},
"people": [{
"name": "Daniel Lo Nigro"
}],
"googlePhotosOrigin": {
"fromPartnerSharing": {
}
}
}
Does PhotoStructure currently ingest this data into its database? I don’t see it in the “info” panel, but I’m wondering if it’s storing it and just not displaying it anywhere.
The reason I’m asking is that I want to eventually move just my PhotoStructure directory to a server and delete all the Google Takeout data (leaving just the PhotoStructure directory). I don’t see JSON sidecars in the PhotoStructure 2018\2018-12-24
directory, just the images. I’m wondering if I need to keep all the Google Takeout JSON sidecar files (eg. move them into the PhotoStructure directory) in order to preserve this metadata.
