Okay, running... searching for everything in input folder...
Found 0 photos/videos in input folder
...oh :(

I couldn't find any D: reasons for this may be:
  - your Takeout doesn't have any "year folders" -
    visit https://github.com/TheLastGimbus/GooglePhotosTakeoutHelper
    again and request new, correct Takeout
After fixing this, go ahead and try again :)

I have a takeout made (and unzipped) back in July 2019, but gpth doesn't detect anything from this folder. Seems like it has a different folder structure from current takeouts. Would there be any way I could make this work with older takeouts? (I haven't tried running gpth --fix just yet)

BEST would be to re-export again

But if you have absolutely no way to do that, you'll need to use veryy old v1.2.0 version

https://github.com/TheLastGimbus/GooglePhotosTakeoutHelper/releases/tag/v1.2.0

https://github.com/TheLastGimbus/GooglePhotosTakeoutHelper/blob/v1.2.0/README.md

It may have bugs and is not supported, but should work if you have no other option

--fix is wayy different thing, it won't help you

I've already re-exported the thing from Google just few days ago, ran the gpth and it did wonders!👍 Just wanted to make sure if I'm not missing anything from the old 2019 takeout before yeeting them off my hard drive for good. I'll try the python version, thank you for everything!
