The problem with this thing is that it doesn't work. So having played with this for several hours today

* installation was ok, but I had to reach out to the discord channel to be able to configure it properly * started to index the photos; at 16480 photos (After about 1h) it stopped progressing with no error message * for the photos that are listed as indexed, when going to the gallery, there are no thumbnails * it appears that there is no metadata being indexed for those photos either

In short, this is not ready for prime time yet

I currently run PhotoStructure what works ok with indexing, but has other gaps (no tagging, face recognition, etc..)

The next release (alpha build will drop in a week or two) will include keyword, album, and person tag imports from Google Takeouts, Lightroom, Picasa, and digiKam. See: https://photostructure.com/about/2020-release-notes/#vnext

Local face recognition, if it doesn't make it into this release, will be in the following release: most of the detection, aggregation, and backend storage is already implemented in my feature branch.

Thanks for pointing these out!

What I'm looking for is Lightroom-album style tagging (keyword and star-rating) that I can apply to photos manually - I dont' have my archive tagged in anywhere, and I need to do that somewhere

I'm thinking about biting the bullet and import everything in Lightroom just to get tagging :(

Got it. FWIW, arbitrary tagging (and rating and flags) are on my to-do list. https://forum.photostructure.com/t/support-for-manually-edit...

Thank you so much for the update and giving it a try!
