Hello, Is it possible to configure alternative folder structures? I really appreciate the way that photos are copied into folders for a really clean management. However, some flexibility would be great. For example, a top level hierarchy of the camera that took the photo.

You can at least change the date hierarchy with the assetSubdirectoryDatestampFormat Variable. Details here: photostructure/photostructure-for-servers/blob/main/defaults.env # # Welcome to PhotoStructure! These are the settings for version 0.9.1. # # Please see <https://photostructure.co…

Camera make and model would be easy to add to the naming template. What do you you think I should do when there isn’t a make or model? I could support bash-style pattern expansion, and support something where if a field value is missing, a replacement string is provided. So, in your case, somethin…

That makes a lot of sense to me, although I just use the date stuff, so wouldn’t really impact me either way.

This looks smart. If you’re a personal user (like me) with holiday snaps, changes of camera and smart phone shots, then this is the type of thing I’d go for. In the past I’ve been a bit fussy about my photos vs photos that someone else took (of the same event, for example), but I’m not sure is a co…

You bring up a good point with your pictures vs others - this is something I have also struggled with. Anybody know if (for example) and iPhone carries data about the device name? In my family we have the same make and model phone, so that’s not enough to differentiate. I would have to add an ‘own…

PhotoStructure uses ExifTool under the hood to extract tags. I haven’t found a serial-number-ish tag in the iPhone example images I’ve looked at, but you can look too: run exiftool -j -struct /path/to/image.jpeg (and if you don’t have ExifTool installed, it’s available via homebrew, standard Linux d…

Yeah… did that and some web searching. Consensus seems to be that there isn’t an explicit device ID or serial number stored by iPhones at least. HEIC files have a lot more metadata than the jpegs, at least on mine… they do have a “profileID” field that “might” be unique, I’m not sure. I don’t have a…

Thanks for doing this research! [image] bdillahu: they do have a “profileID” field that “might” be unique, I’m not sure I got excited about that field too. I believe this is the ID of the color gamut profile that the image is encoded in, though: What does the Profile ID mean?

Ah, good deal… I googled a bit for ProfileID, but missed that one.

[image] mjdyson: Do they have exif data? It depends on the device that took the screenshot, but at least for iOS, Ubuntu and the Android devices I’ve looked at, they don’t have a make or model, any exposure information, or gps metadata. FWIW, iOS and Ubuntu take PNG, and Android seems to sav…
