- Importing photos should be as easy as drag and drop or "add directory".
Check Lomorage web app and import tool.
- Images in the library should be mirrored to an internal store independent of the greater filesystem.
The storage can be on the external hard drive or remote mounted device.
- It needs to support rich tagging. Images should be easily enumerable by tag.
Tag will be added.
- It needs to store all metadata in a central database or file that I can easily distribute and back up. (As opposed to writing the data into the images directly.) It would be nice if the primary keys to image were signature-based rather than filename (and especially not full file path) as it could live on different systems.
All the metadata is stored in sqlitelite database and backup daily.
- Group by GPS coordinates would be nice. Even better if it can pull the location name.
GPS location already processed and stored in DB, currently support search by location, will add map view.
- Group by date taken.
The default view is by date taken, in reverse order, latest first.
- Find or automatically ignore/remove duplicates.
dedup done by file hash, also support similar photo dedup by using perception hash, will add in smart album.
- Support for a NAS or cloud backup would be fantastic. Especially if it also backs up the database.
Support redundancy backup with network mount.
- It should generate pre-computed thumbnails so scrolling a large library doesn't show blank images, but keep them off to the side so it doesn't impact backup.
- It should have RAW support, but doesn't need editing/adjustment capabilities. (If not available, I suppose I could pre-process the RAWs.)
Support iPhone dng raw format, others can be added.
- Video support would be extremely nice too, but it doesn't need to have any editing or miscellaneous features.
Support popular video formats supported on Android and iOS
- It would be nice to keep galleries separate, or at least in different namespaces so I can reuse tags. Family, real estate, conceptual/renders, etc.
Current support album and folders, the same concept with those on iPhone.
- Replication across multiple devices would be a nice to have, especially if it can update tags and metadata across machines.
Backup photos/videos and also metadata database on 2nd storage.
- Open source would be nice, but I'd be happy with paid/commercial software if it did what I wanted.
- Multiplatform support (Linux, Windows, Mac) would be extremely nice. Even nicer if it supports mobile too.
Multiple platform support, and has native mobile apps as well.
- It should be snappier than a web-based gallery.
Mobile first + Web APP
- That said, internet web access (like photos.google.com) would be killer.
Support external access via ngrok or other similar tunnel service, can also open port mapping on home router if having public ip address.
