DK 5.6.0: CLI command to import metadata

cool.chris65
Hi,

I'm using DK to manage my pics over many years od DK-Versions ... actually I
need to import the metadata like tags, comments,... from the pics into the
database because the old db was lost...  

It's no problem to import them withe gui, but it needs very long time, and I'm
using a debian8-based NAS (OMV) and a sql-server on it (mariadb) to store the
pics and all informations about them.

I would prefer a commandline solution to restore all metadatas into the
database because then it could run onto the NAS without any second PC to run
the whole dk, but I can't find anything about such a possibility to do it with
a cli

Greetz, Christoph

Hi,

This kind of solution do not exist yet, even if :

1. I understand well the problem as i use also a NAS;
2. Mostly operations done by the scan collection process run in a
separated thread without nothing to do in GUI excepted a progress bar.

So typically it's technically possible but this need to touch a lots
of code to achieve this king of feature.

Sorry, you will need to run the GUI for the moment.

Best

Hi,

dosn't matter - so at least I do it in the gui just if I see that the datas
are incomplete ;-)

And at least I will say this: it's a very great piece of software! I love it
and I use it regularly - i think starting with 0.9.5 or so ;-)

Thx

Thanks. We trying to do the best step by step. It take a while to
check all code from all contributors, but it's always a pleasure. I'm
working on this project since... 2002 (:=))
