![]() It saves the individual images to a sub-directory and keeps the scanned images so if it messes one up you can find it and manually crop it. Really all you need for it to work is white space around the photo. I can look to see if I still have the batch script on one of the PCs, if I do I can send it to you. I started a similar project, but was doing it on a single old (slow) scanner, one by one, and cropping manually. How easy is it to get it to work of unraid ? Is it a server side appliation or a database on unraid with clients ? You can easily query and get all the pics from a specific vacation, or all the pics that have both me and my wife, etc. I set up digiKam clients on all the computers around the house, so we can tag the pictures however we like (we do by person and by event). I plug the sd card into any laptop every once in a while and copy all the files over onto the "Pictures" share and select skip duplicates. All of the pictures are in the same folder (no more duplicates because we do not rename the files and I don't get mad at my wife for hoarding pictures on her sd card anymore). So I set up digiKam with a mysql library hosted on unraid. So having them in separate folders was the wrong way as I ended up with gigs of duplicate pics (same picture in multiple folders) I had much trouble with this in the past as my wife likes to keep some of the pictures on the camera after the transfer (So she can show them to people on the camera screen) Once they were all scanned in I created a macro batch in Photoshop to detect the separate images and crop + rotate, then fixed rotation on any it got wrong(surprisingly few) and set about organizing them. There were literally boxes full of loose photos from over the years! I had 3 scanners set to max dpi, I could fit 3-4 pictures on a scanner at a time. I can honestly say my mother has horrible organization. Scanned, fixed and organized over 10,000 pictures. Should have seen me when I was digitizing my parents photo collection. May seem troublesome but its my families memories so I don't mind. I usually clear the memory card every few weeks and sort them, takes about 10-15 minutes. Took me ages to organize it this way, but is pretty simple if I stay on top of it. Like I said, over complicated, but it makes it easy to find a specific picture without having to remember the timeframe. These are dated as well as a short description. I then have a folder for special occassions, which has sub-folders for vacations, family get togethers. These hold one off photos that I don't have many of, for example I took a picture of my daughter when she was playing with the water hose and somehow got it stuck up her pants leg, water was gushing from the waist band making her look like a living fountain. I have a folder named "family" and in each a folder for each member of my immediate family. I separate pictures into numerous categories, then again into sub-categories ![]()
