# Photo archive template directory
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The contents of this are copied to each archive drive root.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```shell
 | 
						|
$ cp -R ./media PATH_TO_ARCHIVE_DRIVE
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The scripts are stored with the archive for generational compatibility,
 | 
						|
both building and documenting the structure the archive was created with.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

### `README.md`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
A basic introductory description. This is here to introduce a new user
 | 
						|
to the archive structure and basics.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `sync-archive.sh`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Ingest media into the archive and prepare it for further steps in the 
 | 
						|
workflow
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This script can be run interactively:
 | 
						|
```shell
 | 
						|
$ ./sync-archive.sh
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This will:
 | 
						|
- Create the directory structure
 | 
						|
  (see: [Archive directory structure](#archive-direcotry-structure))
 | 
						|
- Copy and verify the contents of 1 or more external media
 | 
						|
  to the archive directory
 | 
						|
- Prepare the archive for further work via `process-archive.sh`
 | 
						|
- Compress the archive via `compress-archive.sh`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `process-archive.sh`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Process the syncronized data for use with [ImageGrid.Viewer]()
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```shell
 | 
						|
$ ./process-archive.sh [FLAGS] PATH
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This will:
 | 
						|
- Extract previews from RAW files
 | 
						|
- Extract metadata
 | 
						|
- Build index
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `compress-archive.sh`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Compress archived files.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```shell
 | 
						|
$ ./compress-archive.sh [FLAGS] PATH
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This is designed to selectively compress uncompressed raw files (Sony) achiving +/- 2x compression factor.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
By default this uses filesystem compression, supporting ntfs (on windows) and btrfs transparent native compression, but can be configured to use various archiving formats.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `update-exif.sh`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Update EXIF of output previews from corresponding .psd / RAW files.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```shell
 | 
						|
$ ./update-exif.sh [FLAGS] PATH
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `tree.sh`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Generte and check arcive file list.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This provides a basic and fast way to check high level tree consistency
 | 
						|
against mostly humn-error.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

Index root directory (single source media)
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
<date>.<index> - <info>/
 |

```
 |

 |

Index root (multiple source media)
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
<date> - <info>/
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Each synchronised media is stored in:
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
<date> - <info>/<date>.<index>/
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Leading `"-"` indicates a not fully sorted shoot. 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
- <date> - <info>/
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This is the default as created by `sync-flash.sh`, renaming (removing the leading `"- "`) should be done by the user.
