I’ve been using different software during the years to keep track of my pictures. None of them - other than Facebook - allowed to tag faces in pictures manually when the AI failed to do so. That was always very frustrating because some of the most important pictures I wanted to have there were not tagged and there was no way of manually doing it.
This is until today where this feature finally landed, I’m so excited, this will make the app much more useful. Now we could even pretend our cat Leo is a person and just tag his face manually ;)
My worry with this is that it might be super resource heavy and unstable. That’s not based on thorough investigation though. I’ve been eyeing it for my 80gb photo library. How does it work for you?
My picture folder contains 1,4 TB of data, with many RAW-files and some Videos. Memories is handling that without a problem. I especially like the way it handles RAW-files, by grouping them together with the fitting JPEG.
I don’t know about how ressource heavy it is, but my server is really nothing special.
Features I like and use:
That’s incredibly helpful, thank you! I think I’m going to give it a go. Do you have any process for adding your photos?
No special process, I installed Memories as admin on my Nextcloud, pointed it to my Picture-folder and my Smartphone-Uploadfolder, and made sure I had the other Apps as recommended here installed (e.g. ‘Photos’ to use albums and ‘Recognize’ for automatic face tagging)
The Memories-App on the Smartphone is also neat. And it is available on F-Droid.
Really cool. I’m gonna go for it. Thanks again mein Freund!
