Here’s the current implementation: https://photostructure.com/faq/what-do-you-mean-by-deduplicate/#how-does-photostructure-pick-which-file-to-show
This feature would replace the current schemeIdx
variant sort criterion with a new volumeIdx
variant sort criterion.
The volume index would be configurable through a new “variantSortCriteriaVolumes” setting that takes an array of strings.
-
Each string would specify either a URI prefix (
pslib:
,psfile://volsha
), or a volume label, or a volume mountpoint. -
First volume to match “wins”.
-
Variations on unspecified volumes would be considered “worse” than the last specified volume.
-
variantSortCriteriaVolumes
would default to
"pslib",
"psfile",
"file".
"psnet"
which is the current default for schemeIdx
: it prefers files found in your library, then files on volumes with UUIDs, and then locally-mounted files on volumes without UUIDs, and then remote file shares without UUIDs.
variantSortCriteria
would then default to
"resolution",
"mtime",
"volumeIdx",
"isCover",
"count",
"isBrowserSupported",
"fileSize"
