How to analyze old photos manually moved via filesystem?

corneliousjd 1 year ago updated by Vlad R 1 year ago 1

I want to manually move old photos (tens of thousands) over to where my Filerun storage can see them, but when I do this, they do not show up under the photos section (seems like they must be indexed first).

I remember seeing an option in the superuser control panel for that, but now I cannot seem to find that anywhere - where is it exactly? Sorry!


Also, I remember seeing a warning when selecting it, can you describe perhaps with more detail what the risk (if any) really is for analyzing/indexing all of them? 


Thank you in advance.


PS - Is there any way to use the map feature w/out a Google Maps static API key? They cost money per map view it looks like, which isn't something I want to pay for just for my own personal use.

I do know other projects (such as Photoview) use Mapbox's free API keys to let users enter their own mapbox API key and use the maps for free -- https://www.mapbox.com/

Is there any way to get maps on the photos in filerun for free?

From the web interface: right-click the folder with new content, More options > Control panel > Index file metadata > Run You have to be signed in as FileRun superuser to be able to access the file/folder control panel.

From the command line: cron/metadata_index.php username /full/path/to/subfolder/

Google gives $200 monthly allowance to the free accounts. It's more than enough for most personal usage, including document editing with Google Drive and seeing tons of maps of geotagged pics. In other words, it's free.

It works just like with mapbox, get an API key and paste it in FileRun.
