gphotos_sort VS czkawka

Sometime the browser does not refresh immediately.. look at https://photos.google.com/search/_tra_ (recently added), if you see the 4 photos there, go to https://photos.google.com/ and refresh (multiple times, if necessary).

On the web app (photos.google.com) and the android app, it's "description" but yes i agree with this post regardless. You can use it for keywords or whatever you want and it becomes way more searchable.

With my latest set of photos taken with a Pixel 8 Pro, the photos in the albums display with the album name, but the date doesn't display for them (and only them). Previous photos from previous albums are fine. The exif data on the new Pixel 8 Pro photos looks correct when viewed both within Google Photos app and photos.google.com.

When viewed via https://photos.google.com they error: "An error occurred. Please try again later."

That’s strange. Can you see them on https://photos.google.com?

Delete from https://photos.google.com.

However, I just tried doing a "3 dot" Download all in an album in photos.google.com , as well as a Takeout of the same album. File sizes are the same, and seems like the metadata is in both downloads... I have checked with exiftool too!

1) Open any web browser and go to photos.google.com 2) Click on 'Create Album', and give it a Title e.g. Screenshots 3) Click on 'Add Photos' 4) Click on the upload cloud at the top right 5) Click 'Select from computer' 6) In the dialog box that opens, scroll down the left pane to Media > Photos and click it 7) In the right pane, below the Photos app icon, scroll down to Albums > Screenshots 8) All screenshots will be displayed. Select all, click 'Open' and import into Google Photos 9) In Photos on Mac, find 'Screenshots' under albums. Select and delete all to free up iCloud space.

I can see the "motion" icon on photos.google.com but its not showing all the individual photos at the bottom of the screen. How can I turn this on so I can edit one and delete the rest.

https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka by far the best of anything iv tried

I've used Czkawka (https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka) because it does Lanczos-based image duplicate detection, which makes it more practical for me.

Maybe it's a setting you made or the files, not sure. You can try another software czkawka to see if you get better results with it.

For static images i used https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka and it works well enough. I think. But when i used it on a folder with gifs and their jxl conversions, it shows nothing. SURELY this could not be user error, rrrright?

I used to use DupeGuru which has some photo-specific dupe detection where you can fuzzy match image dupes based on content: https://dupeguru.voltaicideas.net/

But I switched over to czkawka, which has a better interface for comparing files, and seems to be a bit faster: https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka

Unfortunately, neither of these are integrated into Photoprism, so you still have to do some file management outside the database before importing.

I also haven't used Photoprism extensively yet (I think it's running on one of my boxes, but I haven't gotten around to setting it up), but I did find that it wasn't really built for file-based libraries. It's a little more heavyweight, but my research shows that Nextcloud Memories might be a better choice for me (it's not the first-party Nextcloud photos app, but another one put together by the community): https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/memories

Czkawka can do this.

There's always the well-respected tool, Czkawka. Or, of the CLI is your thing, jdupes is a good option.
