19860900_Sep_21st-birthday-partyĮxact season known e.g. Have a folder for each year and a decades folder for unsure stuff (e.g., 1978, 1979, 1970s) Filename formatĮxact date known (not time) - midnight PST will be 8 p.m. I'm hoping the following standard will work for my stuff. Since I'd like the ordering to remain somewhat consistent, There are standards emerging on how to represent estimated dates,

Which means I won't always know the exact date and time. I'm using this to catalog images before this century,

As for comments, the idea is for soml itself to log the event details, but in case soml is lost, at least the names and events will be captured in the media Title fields.

Hopefully soml will have a way to map the data geographically.

Some photo applications can index images by EXIF data, yet for better archiving and simpler implementation, it's nice to also be sortable and searchable by file name.

The main fields I care about are the file name, location, and description.īut it should leave any other fields undisturbed. To use the little map displayed with the show button (not required),īecause it's mainly for family archive purposes and not professional photography,

EXIF title, for extended descriptive information.

Files named as local followed by a brief descriptionīy selecting from various options that the file might already have stored based on your camera.

Review the details and click Confirm and write to files or cancel Get everything displayed how you want it because what is shown is what will be sent to the server.Ĭlick Submit, which writes the JSON request to be sent to the server and displays it. Or otherwise tweak all the data fields to how you want them. In the EXIF data area, select the date you want to use, change, revert, reapply, (Original values are kept in the title attributes of each field.)

Click Apply values to write the replacement values to each file.

The perl server provides existing file info that's 'relevant (to me)'. Select and drag those files from your explorer onto the file drop pad in the app.(Browser app can't determine the local path.) Enter data about those files in the Replacement values section.
