Incomplete indexing of library

[Javerre]

I have 12,500 photos in my collection, organised into folders as: photos year year-month

However, when I try to view this in PiGallery2 it shows only a subset of the folders. For example, the top level set of folders is: 2003 2004 ... 2021

But the top level view is missing the 2003 folder. Drilling down, I similarly find sub-folders are missing all over the place. I am using mysql as the database and the there tables are consistent with the rendered views (i.e. have similarly missing folder entries in the directory_entity table.

All in all PiGallery2 only finds 2991 of my 12,500 media entries :(

Currently running 1.8.2 pulled from docker bpatrik/pigallery2:latest

Hi,

thanks, that sounds odd. Can you check in the settings under Folder indexing -> Exclude Folder List and Exclude File List ? It has some default values that makes some folder excluded from indexing.

If there isn't anything suspicious check logs if there is any error. In the config.json you can set the logging level to silly to print all logs.

The exclusion lists look OK - I configured them to eliminate some unwanted stuff:

            "excludeFolderList": [
                ".Trash-1000",
                ".dtrash",
                "$RECYCLE.BIN",
                "@Recycle",
                ".@__thumb",
                ".DAV"
            ],
            "//[excludeFileList]": "Any folder that contains a file with this name will be excluded from indexing.",
            "excludeFileList": [
                ".picasa.ini",
                ".DS_Store"
            ]

Where are the logs? I'm running in Docker.

Please note that excludeFileList excludes folders that contains those files, not the files itself. It might be that this is not what you want. The app only indexes that it can handle (like photos and videos with supported extension) no need to exclude other files.

You can find the logs with "docker logs You can get the container name with "docker ps"

Ah.

Thanks, this is not a bug. Sorry to have wasted your time!

By the way, just wanted to congratulate you on a truly excellent implementation of picture zoom. I have tried a lot of web hosted galleries and yours is the first that I actually find useful! This is something I found supremely useful in Picasa and have missed ever since.

I have a couple of minor feature requests:

• When zooming, keep the point under the cursor invariant rather than the centre of the view
• When zoomed in, moving to next/previous pictures should keep the viewport unchanged (if possible)
• Allow images to be deleted from the frontend

Otherwise, its perfect.

[bpatrik]

I'm happy that you like it :)

Please open other tickets for the feature requests so that people can keep track. There is an other zoom related ticket #240 And here is about deletion: #76
