Hi,
I’ve been thinking about photo import, and here’s the features I’ve come up with for my ideal application
- it has the option to not show thumbnails. generally I know what I’ve shot, and usually thumbnails just slow you down.
- it lets me group photos based on how much time elapsed between consecutive photos. This is useful for example when you photograph at a music festival, so you can separate photos from each performance.
- it lets me name and tag each of the time-based groups
- it can name the files while copying, and you can use the name from the previous bullet point in the naming template
- it creates (darktable-compatible) xmp files with the tags
- after copying, adds the raw files to git-annex and the xmp files to the corresponding git repository
