Hi, excuse this terribly beginner question:
*Could Perkeep be of use as a local media file indexing system (i.e. the file data itself is not copied into perkeep but stays in the files on disk)?* Use Case - indexing of a (local) library of images, audio files, videos and their backups on several harddisks - discovery of duplicate files - verification that each file is present on at least 3 different backup hard disks - harddisks can be unmounted, but their index should stay queryable - media-specific metadata (image resolution, encoding, bit rate, etc.) should be queryable directly from the index Extra Points 1. if a media file could be represented as a block tree which nicely separates sub-blocks containing only metadata (e.g. EXIF for images) and raw content data. (This way, duplicate images with different metadata could be detected) 2. if relationships between media files could be represented, i.e. if a photo is an edited version or a thumbnail from an original (of course, the info itself would come from the outside) 3. the immediate need is that data is (and stays securely) local, but later it could be nice to easily share some media files with specific users If this has been asked or treated before, please excuse my ignorance and point me towards relevant sources.
