Here’s a pretty nice tutorial on OSXDaily. There are other ways to flatten a file structure (like from the command line) but use them at your own risk. The best option for me was to sort photos into a YEAR/ MONTH folder structure using Hazel ( previous tutorial and another example). Flatten, Sort, RepeatĮven after extracting from Aperture, I still needed a logical folder structure that would work with multiple upload services. Today, I’d probably open the Aperture library and pull out all of the folders. I used a fine application called “Photoshare” that is nearly unsupported. The first thing I did was extract all of my files from my Aperture libraries. Proprietary library files suck for moving to other services. Isolated libraries suck for finding stuff.
#Photosweeper portable
Take it from someone that’s tried a lot of different photo sharing services, a nice directory of photos organized by date is the most portable solution when one of the services gives up the ghost. A general requirement for this move was to get my photos sorted into logical folders and to remove duplicates wherever possible.
It works great but I have a well resourced system and a fast Internet connection. I run my own photo service on my NAS using a Synology. I’ve settled on a solution that may not be right for everyone. I’ve learned exactly one lesson from all of this effort and expense: Being organized is the only way to stay neutral and sane. It feels like I’ve tried almost every photo storage, sharing and syncing service on the planet.
