Howtos

Build yourself

The tool can easily be built via gradle. It's main goal is clean install, so just run:

$ gradle
$ ./gradlew - to use the wrapper

after having checked out.

In case you are using the wrapper, the following wrapper version is used.

Run the tool

Since the tool is still in development there's no command-line at the moment.

UberJAR

The application is generated as a shadow-JAR, that may be launched in the following way:

$ ./gradlew
$ java -jar build/libs/fotocollector-0.0.2-SNAPSHOT-all.jar

Releases

0.0.2-SNAPSHOT

Currently: work in progress :-D

This first release contains some Tika experiments and a basic skeleton for JSON and HTML generation. Furthermore I experienced the ease of releasing with gradle, it nails down to a

$ gradle release

History

2015-11

Project idea grew when I wanted to generate some Xmas-related image collections.

2016-02

The idea is to scan for images and generate a JSON file structure with a collection's title and the list of image names. These names can later be used to scan a certain directory and copy the image to a before mentioned directory in order to restore a collection without keeping dozens of copies of the original images.

2016-03

The output should be available as JSON and HTML.
