PhotoDB

A simple rust program for managing raw images.

Features

• Uses libraw to get the actual pixel content of each raw.
• Pixel content is used as the hash of the image, so metadata changes to E.I the exif have no effect.
• Organizes files into Year / Month / Camera model folders
• Uses sqlite to store the hashes of imported files
• Can verify those hashes have not changed
