Does anyone here have experience with "photofs" fixing photo naming?
https://jeromebelleman.gitlab.io/posts/filesystems/photofs/With every adult operating system, you can name the photos coming out of
the mobile device - except with the brain-dead dumb-terminal iOS devices.
Since Apple only hires high school dropouts to define their file-naming
conventions, it can apparently be used to map Apple's sophomoric DCIM
file-naming conventions to something that the modern world uses.
Seriously though, if you've never looked at the brain-dead way Apple iOS
devices name photos, you'll never understand how bad Apple coders are.
It's almost as if nothing works in iOS the way it should unless you log
into Apple's Cupertino mainframes every moment of your life.
Just to get a reasonable name out of each of your photos on Apple's dumb
terminal iOS devices (seriously - look at the stupid names Apple uses).
Well, apparently, PhotoFS is to the rescue, perhaps fixing Apple's
dumb-terminal brain-dead photo-naming conventions that nobody ever uses.
PhotoFS, is, apparently, a FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) filesystem that
presents your photo & video collection as a structured file system based on
their metadata instead of how Apple's dumb-terminal devices display them.
PhotoFS creates a virtual filesystem where directories and filenames are
dynamically generated based on the EXIF and XMP metadata found within your
image and video files.
Unfortunately, there's only so much you can do to fix Apple's absurd
dumb-terminal file-naming conventions, as PhotoFS is a read-only
filesystem. It does not modify your original files. It only presents a
different view of your existing collection.
In essence, PhotoFS offers a clever way to navigate and interact with your
media library by leveraging the rich information already embedded within
your files to create a more meaningful and searchable file system
structure.
Hence, I ask, does anyone here have experience with "photofs" photo naming?
