Thank you for the great work. I tried to clone the repo, but didn't know how to run the script.

Hi @dofine ! Thanks for trying this project.
I'm the only one that uses this, as far as I know, so I never thought how somebody else would use it, sorry for not explaining it too well in the docs!
First of all, you need to install all dependencies.
I usually run poetry shell , poetry install.
You can also try pip install . inside the root of the project.

You have a few to run the CLI app:

  • if you called "poetry install", you can already call imgdb inside the poetry shell
  • you can call poetry run imgdb ... which basically does the same thing, but you don't need a shell
  • if you don't use Poetry, you can call the main code with python -m imgdb ..., eg: python -m imgdb add 'Pictures/iPhone8/' -o 'Pictures/archive/' --dbname imgdb.htm

Let me know if that works for you!
TODO for me: update the docs.

You can try to use the latest version, I just pushed 1 commit that updates some dev dependencies that had problems.

It works! My python knowledge is very limited. At first I tried python imgdb add but forgot the -m flag.
Also poetry is new to me. Nice to learn something new. Thanks!
