- scripts/publish-wiki.sh publishes every page listed in SECTIONS, copies images, writes a sectioned sidebar and footer, and removes stale pages. --check fails on links to missing files or headings and on docs pages that are neither published nor excluded. - New wiki.yml runs the check on pull requests and pushes to main, and publishes when release.yml calls it or when started by hand. - Split USER_GUIDE.md into topic pages (files, synced folders, photos, sharing, computers, launcher and tray); add Getting started and FAQ. - Make the COPR repository the main Fedora path, with update and uninstall steps for every package type. - Fix the stale CAPTCHA note in CLI.md, document pdfs unlock and lock, and drop the broken AGENTS.md link from CONTRIBUTING.md.

# Photos
|
|
|
|
The **Photos** page of the app shows your Proton Photos library. Photos are stored apart from
|
|
My files, so they do not appear in `~/ProtonDrive`.

|
|
- [Albums](#albums)
|
|
- [Places](#places)
|
|
- [Viewer and duplicates](#viewer-and-duplicates)
|
|
- [Importing from Google Photos](#importing-from-google-photos)

|
## Timeline
|
|
|
|
- The timeline groups photos by day, month or year as you zoom. Drag the scrubber on the right
|
|
edge to jump through the years.
|
|
- **On this day** shows photos taken on the same date in earlier years.
|
|
- **Filters** narrow the timeline to images, videos or RAW files, to favorites, or to photos that
|
|
are in no album.
|
|
- **RAW + JPEG pairs** of the same shot show as one tile. The viewer switches between the two, and
|
|
moving the tile to the Trash removes both.
|
|
- **Upload** adds photos from this computer.
|
|
|
|
## Albums
|
|
|
|
**Albums** lists your own albums and the albums others share with you. Create, rename and delete
|
|
albums, and add or remove photos. Deleting an album keeps its photos in the timeline.
|
|
|
|
## Places
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Places** groups photos by the town they were taken in, as cards or on a map. Town names come
|
|
from [GeoNames](https://www.geonames.org/) data (CC BY 4.0) and the map from
|
|
[Natural Earth](https://www.naturalearthdata.com/) (public domain). Both ship with the app, so
|
|
nothing is fetched online.
|
|
|
|
A street map from [OpenFreeMap](https://openfreemap.org/) (© OpenStreetMap contributors) can be
|
|
turned on under **Preferences → General → Appearance**. It is off by default, because the map
|
|
server learns which areas you look at.
|
|
|
|
## Viewer and duplicates
|
|
|
|
- The viewer marks favorites, shows EXIF details, shows a photo on the map, and runs a slideshow
|
|
(F5).
|
|
- **Find Duplicates…** in the page menu lists byte-identical copies. Turn on **Similar** to also
|
|
find resized or re-encoded copies and burst shots.
|
|
|
|
## Importing from Google Photos
|
|
|
|
1. Request a [Google Takeout](https://takeout.google.com/) export of Google Photos and download
|
|
every `.zip` of it.
|
|
2. In the app, open the **Upload** menu on the Photos page and choose **Import from Google
|
|
Photos…**. Select all the `.zip` files at once, because a photo and its details are often in
|
|
different parts of the export.
|
|
|
|
From a terminal:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pdfs import-google-photos --dry-run ~/Downloads/takeout-*.zip # show what would happen
|
|
pdfs import-google-photos --wait ~/Downloads/takeout-*.zip
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The import recreates your albums and takes capture dates and locations from the export. Photos
|
|
already in your library are skipped, so an interrupted import can simply be run again.
|
|
`pdfs import-status` shows how far an import is, and `pdfs cancel-import` stops it.
|
|
|
|
## Fixing photos filed under the wrong date
|
|
|
|
Photos from an earlier import sometimes sit under the day they were uploaded instead of the day
|
|
they were taken. `pdfs redate-photos --dry-run` finds those whose file name carries a different
|
|
date, and `pdfs redate-photos` fixes them.
|
|
|
|
Proton cannot change a capture date in place. So each fix uploads the photo again with the right
|
|
date and moves the original to the Trash. Favorites and albums are kept.
