There's no clarity on how to associate a file system path to an additional library. The current syntax is:

And is there a way to go without docker?? It slows everything down soo much. |

That hints at other issues because as a general rule docker is near native speed. Are you running on very low end hardware or some non *nix port of docker such as windows? |

In general, yes, Photonix is very resource hungry. Especially, when compared to other similar tools, like PhotoView and PhotoPrism. |

I don't see it advertised anywhere for running on Windows. Technically it is possible, given WSL and that most of Photonix is python code, but I don't think that is mentioned as a working/recommended setup. |

Your best best is to use Docker, if that's supported. Or else, use some sort of virtualizaiton; like VirtualBox. |

We've been evaluating this as a corporate tool to positive results. We have several repositories spread across multiple departments, so Photonix allows us to give everyone a single interface to search and browse the libraries without changing each department's organizational methods. It also allows us to open the libraries to everyone without worrying about them altering the originals (as long as permissions are set correctly). We have so many photo assets that moving to a cloud service is not viable. |

After the issue #263 was fixed, I could make enough progress now to share my initial impression of this product.
I have immense gratitude for what you have produced with the tools collectively. I love the fact that it is all done in Python, where I hope I'll have some time and enough insight to contribute to this project in my leisure.
One of the great things I liked about Photonix is how it has read all the metadata I've fed to my images so far. I use Digikam to annotate my images. Digikam is pretty good these days, in facial recognition and many of the other annotation features. So I use Digikam and ask it to write all the metadata to the sidecar files as well as (if possible) to the images directly in their EXIF headers. This has turned out very well with Photonix. See image below:
THis allows me to make leverage of my existing tools and reuse all the hard word done in annotating my collection so far. So thank you very much.
As I mentioned, I make Digikam also to write to sidecar files. THis on the Photonix server is seen and ignored. But it does consume resources. I was wondering if Photonix has any settings to specify a blacklist of file types, where I could just simply ask it to blacklist such files. Apologies if this is already there but I looked into the documentation and couldn't find any.
I'll add some more feedback to this thread later today or over the weekend, if that's fine to do. Again, thank you so much for the work you've done in producing Photonix.
Oh!! And I'm making use of the
devbuild environment as I intend to (hopefully) contribute back to this project.Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
