phockup VS oxipng

If you want to manually do the year month day folder structure, as well as even naming files by date, I use phockup. It’s very handy and supports a lot of formatting options, so you can format it just like synology does so it’s all consistent. It’s also fun to say. Will you shut the phockup?!

phockup works for me, and is also a fun word to say over and over

I'm a fan of czkawka as a client. And phockup as a docker automation image deduper.

I found a cool photo organizing tool called Phockup and I can get the basic command completed to get my photos moved to the folders:

Agreed Nextcloud photos is rubbish. I used a tool on my photo directory in NextCloud to sort my photos by date and ran a scan afterwords to have NextCloud recognize the change. Not ideal but it worked. Looking for an app to point at that directory, but I don't think I am sold on PhotoPrismI am hoping Photonix adds video support because it looks great.

I have had good experiences with https://github.com/shssoichiro/oxipng . Although, I suspect this wouldn't give you nearly enough space savings as jpg.

If you do want the file as a PNG (for transparency and a common format that's well supported), but don't want it so huge, consider something like oxipng. https://github.com/shssoichiro/oxipng

oxipng, pngquant and svgcleaner — optimizing images

I wonder how `pngcrush` compares to `oxipng` (https://github.com/shssoichiro/oxipng).

Personally, I use `oxipng` if I want lossless compression. However, most of the time, I use `pngquant` instead, since it gives significant size reduction even at `99%` (I can't even distinguish between the original and reduced image).

    pngquant --quality=99 --ext=.png --force file.png

Depending on your workflow it might make sense to export PNGs directly from Affinity and then reduce their size with a utility like Oxipng, which uses all your cores to find the best algorithm for each particular image.

Assuming your frames are PNG files, you could use a lossless optimizer like optipng to try if their size can be reduced. I prefer oxipng, which is faster and multithreaded, and seems to have more active development.

Not sure what extensions of images you use, but if they’re PNG you could use oxipng: https://github.com/shssoichiro/oxipng
