Unfortunately I’m afraid they’re lost (I think). UPD: see kolorafa’s comment
There’s some alternatives if you’re willing to continue with that:
Aves Gallery on android (is on fdroid) can embed comments into image long term metadata. But I have not tested it after transfer.
Creating a directory Gallery with markdown files and a subdir for all images and then writing comments inside those markdown files with a link to the local image. Very simple to do with Obsidian or similar markdown-powered software.
Out of the top of my head I can think of two structures for that:
-
/Year/month/day/ dirs, hoursminutesecond.png and hourminutesecond.txt with the comment per photo.
-
/Gallery/images/datetime.png and /Gallery/yearmonth_gallery.md with comments and links to multiple images for that month.
And probably more that I’m not aware of myself.
If that comment is true and you don’t have the database anymore then there’s no hope.
If you were writing comments to understand which file is which then consider a directory scheme for sorting your files and add readme.md files in a narrow category of files to describe them. I do something like: All coding projects go into home/code, each project has a readme. Etc.
If you were just logging for history purposes ie good memories in photos I’d suggest just making a markdown gallery. Or something similar.
Because windows is inconvenient for me.
Nothing works as I expect it, terminal takes ages to open, everything lags like shit, annoying popups everywhere, every setting is hidden behind ten thousand menus, subpar packaging system, explorer crashes every so often, PATH is hard to access and modify, takes a PHD to install a raw compiler without visual studio, you can forget about shortcut system cus even with autohotkey it’s a pain.
(Talking about permissions) Why do I have to write names of users from the ground and then click button “check if it actually exists” in a fucking gui? Couldn’t there be a drop down list?
If you ever want to modify the windows iso image or make an automated script without using online services you’re just done mate. There’s nifty surprises like special software which name I so conveniently forgot (God bless) that can open the file image contained inside the iso image, but if that inner image has wrong format you have to spend time converting it. Then you’ll see some fucking insane shit in front of you, where you need to drag objects from a drop down list into different categories that have random ass names and not at all simple to understand even after reading official documentation. Oh you think that’s all? You can drop same objects into different categories and they will do different shit. I took TWO WEEKS WORTH OF CLASSES to work with that software and I ALREADY DONT REMEMBER JACK.
Then there’s utterly long startup times even on ssds, colemak dh mod basically doesn’t exist… And that’s all I could remember out the top of my head.
The only redeeming quality I’d say, is having a very simple setup for Japanese and Chinese IME. On arch KDE it took me awhile to set up fcitx with mozc the first time around.
You can install any app anywhere by hand. Download binaries, put them anywhere you want for example home/.local/bin and add that location to your PATH. Most package managers install apps system-wide ie somewhere in root.
My phone was below my waist so it doesn’t count 🙄🙄🙄
Don’t give her pointers, she will delete them and leave you with a core dump
