Photo viewer for lots of photos

[ged]

I think that the zenith base makes it possible to build a gui for previewing huge numbers of photos with reliance on a catalogue freeing people from that aspect of needing a catalogue.

Btw thanks for making this. It’s really great to not be dependent on adobe and their whims.

basically a bit light Adobe Lightroom but without the dependencies on their catalogue system.

Then you can quickly skip through tons of raw and non raw photos.

and can use any standard file system resource from anywhere .

Because there is no catalogue which does indexing of meta data and various other things like exif etc etc I was thinking about just creating a file with the same name as the photo but with an extension where we can put whatever meta data we want.

The other thing is that later we could create a catalogue system that is much more flexible.

For search we can index those files itself into s Bolt db layer to allow collections and creation if indexes of the meta files. The reason for this is so you can use the boltdb or not . It’s flexible to different peoples needs

the file browser project does exactly this. https://github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser

I do work on an open source Science platform where the scientists have thousands of slides from digital microscopes and a planning to use file browser for it. Slides are a specific industry format like raw photos.
