Error "[UriError]: If a URI does not contain an authority component, then the path cannot begin with two slash characters"

When I rebuilt the library, it seems like it wiped the TOML file and restored to defaults. (to 'y/y-MM-dd').

Rebuilding your library should only re-analyze the asset file metadata and asset aggregations in your library database. Details are here:

https://photostructure.com/faq/sync-vs-rebuild/#-library-rebuilds

PhotoStructure rewrites both the system and library settings.toml files only when it determines that they are from an older version of PhotoStructure, and it should try to migrate your prior settings to the new setting names or newer formats… Otherwise, it should leave those files alone.

In version 2.1 I changed the settings for automatic organization: assetSubdirectoryDatestampFormat was replaced with assetPathnameFormat. There’s code that should translate your assetSubdirectoryDatestampFormat value into assetPathnameFormat format, and then re-save the settings.toml. If it didn’t do that, please tell me and I can look into it.

If you open your library’s settings.toml, you should see these comments:

assetSubdirectoryDatestampFormat

Deprecated as of version 2.1: please use assetPathnameFormat instead.
If this setting is provided, and assetPathnameFormat is not provided, we will give assetPathnameFormat the value of this setting + “/BASE”.

assetPathnameFormat

If you opt into “automatic organization” (see the setting “copyAssetsToLibrary”), they will be copied into <originals directory>/<result of assetPathnameFormat>.

• See the originalsDir system setting for what your is (it defaults to your library root directory).
• Please encode this path with forward-slashes, even if you’re on Windows.
• If any patterns resolve to including forward-slashes, know that will be interpreted as subdirectories.
• If you want to add a static path, escape the pathname with single quotes (like “‘photos’/y/MM/dd”).
• The result of this will always be interpreted as a relative path from your PhotoStructure originals directory.
• Use token “BASE” as a shorthand for the original basename (“photo.jpg” for “/path/to/photo.jpg”).
• Use token “NAME” as a shorthand for the original filename, without the file extension (“photo” for “/path/to/photo.jpg”).
• Use token “PARENT” as a shorthand for the original file’s parent directory name (“to” for “/path/to/photo.jpg”).
• Use token “GRANDPARENT” as a shorthand for the original file’s grandparent directory name (“path” for “/path/to/photo.jpg”).
• Use token “EXT” for the filename’s extension without the “.” prefix (like “jpg” for “/path/to/photo.jpg”).
• Use token “ISO” as a shorthand for “yyyy-MM-dd’T’HH:mm:ss.SSSZZ”.
• You can escape other static text by wrapping with single quotes.
• For other tokens, see https://moment.github.io/luxon/#/formatting?id=table-of-tokens.
