Searching descriptions and migrations #379

Not really an issue, but in case anyone is interested, I found a way to be able to search the descriptions you have enter in your pictures. Those as it turns out are saved in an XML file. I call this from a shell script and then parse it to be able to create html files with lists of all pictures matching the description. To search the descriptions:

grep -irnwl '/photoshow/Thumbs/Thumbs/' -e "$species" --include .*.xml

This knowledge could also be used to export all descriptions that could in turn be used to migrate to another photo program without loosing all the work of the manually entered descriptions. Has anyone done that? What program did you migrate to? I tried photoprism but it doesn't really meet my needs.
