My latest fun Claude project: Collecting, decluttering, deduping and most importantly preserving every spec of metadata across a 30+ year digital photo archive. The challenge is that different sources & different versions of an image have different information. The version with EXIF data intact may be the version that was put into an album with all of the related photos. Iβm gathering sources from: iCloud, iPhoto, Google Photos, Open Media Vault, Hard drive folders & a personal website that all had totally different structures. The metadata grows along side the photo archive as older photos are incorporated and every version is scraped for. Memes and screenshots have their own special handlers that preserves them by source but pulls them out of the main photo stream.
