      @ArsonButCute @lightnsfw at this point the only thing stopping me from moving ahead of October is a 20 year photo collection which is all indexed and star rated in Photoshop elements organiser. Any hints how I would move this to Linux? I’m happy to buy software if required but don’t want to use SAS.

        Whe I’m not personally familiar with adobe’s elements organizer, I believe you may want a metadata editor to maintain your sorting and ratings. I use Tiny Media Manager for managing my metadata but it looks like it can’t handle photos, I’ve looked into it a tiny bit and “ExifTool” (exiftool.org) seems to be the same but for image metadata.

        I’d recommend copying some of those files already sorted by the adobe suite and check in the windows version of exiftool if it can edit or modify your tags and ratings you’ve applied. If so, the tool is also available Linux and MacOS.

          @ArsonButCute thanks, I’ll give it a shot. Last time I tried the hard part was getting the tags out of Adobe, especially if you don’t want the modified metadata date changed.

      @ArsonButCute @lightnsfw can’t speak for him but most of the people I’ve helped their major pain points were literally that they never understood what they were doing, just which icons to click, to them IE WAS the internet and firefox was a “different” thing so they’d get frustrated no matter how many times they were told to click on firefox for the internet they’d claim the internet was missing.

      Literally installing a windows icon pack/skin fixes 99% of the issues for many people.
