I’m new to QNAP, having just purchased a TS-464, running QTS 5.2.1.2930, with QuMagie 2.4.0. My existing desktop computer is running Linux Mint Debian Edition, with the Shotwell photo organizer. Shotwell stores its photos in a directory tree, organized by year, month, and day. Mine has over 300,000 photo files in over 6000 directories.
How can I import these photos into QuMagie? The user guide I found only explains how to import photos by pointing and clicking, and I’m not going to do that 300,000 times.
I’d like a way to point QuMagie to the directory containing photos and have it recursively search the directory and grab all image files. But I didn’t find a way to do that in the documentation. I found the QuMagie Quick Start Guide, but is there a detailed reference manual that I missed?
If there’s no way built into the GUI to accomplish that, is there a command-line way to add an individual photo? I can easily use the unix “find” command to repeatedly execute a command on each photo, if I could find a command to add a photo. It could be a command I run on my desktop or on the NAS itself.
Getting the photos onto the NAS storage is not a problem – When I backed up my computer to the NAS, I used rsync to copy my computer’s files to a shared folder, and this has already put all of my photos in a directory structure on the NAS. I’d just like a way to get all the photos into QuMagie without selecting each one of them in a GUI.
