Just tried PhotoStructure on Mac OS X and ran into some issues

[mrm]

Howdy, and welcome to PhotoStructure, @fivezero_ca !

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback.

First, I ran into a problem where the initial scanning didn’t go anywhere

I’m not quite sure I understand what happened here: did you include a directory with photos and videos as your library directory?

If so, it should be fine to keep the “Where else are your photos and videos?” empty–PhotoStructure will always scan your “library” directory.

but in the end I could not tell why it happened.

Apologies–this sort of lack of transparency is why I added sync reports to the next version of PhotoStructure. If you’re using the PhotoStructure for Node edition, you can try this on macOS, but due to new macOS code signing issues, the macOS desktop edition isn’t currently available.

I need to be able to annotate photos with a paragraph or two

Neat. Have you done this to any images already? If so, I’m assuming those long-form descriptions are stored in a sidecar, or at least in an EXIF header, correct? Do you know what tag your software is writing to (like XMP::Description, or EXIF::ImageDescription)?

@fivezero_ca

it would be cool if the app would remember the window size and location

Ah, this bothered me too. I just added it to the next build
