Test if photostructure is something to use

[mrm]

@Peter

The photos were on my usb stick.

Ah: yeah, in that case, PhotoStructure will limp along with what it still has access to. You may want to enable automatic organization, to sweep everything into one tidy directory structure.

@Peter

When I export my apple photo’s with a sidecar file (either with the python export software) , take a subscription of your software, I can get the in apple recognised faces. Or not?

It depends on the export software: if it uses one of the four standard locations for face data that PhotoStructure looks at, PhotoStructure will pick it up.

As of v2, that list is

  "People",
  "PersonInImage", 
  "PersonInImageWDetails.PersonName",
  "PersonInImageName",
  "RegionInfoMP.Regions.PersonDisplayName"

(here are more details)

If your export software uses a different tag, please tell me: I’m happy to expand that list to accommodate

@Peter

What commands can I give on the cli?

Check this out:

PhotoStructure Tools

@Peter

Is it possible to put a sort of hyperlink to the source of the photo?

Open the info panel (the “i”), and click the ellipses by each path name to open the enclosing directory with that file highlighted. The next release also lets you copy the native pathname to your clipboard.

@Peter

When I select one of the photo’s I expected that I would scroll through the search results. But this does not happen.

Oof, yeah, that’s a known issue. See this forum post for the discussion. TL;DR: I will fix this as soon as the next release is out: it bothers me too!

@Peter

I am seriously looking at this nice product.
