Speed up update.rb and fix UI always forcing full rescan

2026-05-22T22:50:35+00:00

- update.rb: skip exiftool on images marked exif_absent (set after first
  failed attempt); prevents repeated slow scans of old photos with no EXIF
- update.rb: explicit directory argument now implies force — passing a path
  always rescans that subtree regardless of sentinel mtime
- app.rb: /admin/update no longer hardcodes --force; sentinel-based skipping
  is used by default, making UI updates finish in seconds instead of minutes
- admin/album.erb: add "Force rescan all" checkbox to Run Update button;
  checked state passes force=1 to the server and restores --force behavior
- README.md, DESIGN.md: document sentinel skipping, exif_absent flag, and
  explicit-directory force behavior

Hide transcoded originals from non-admins; mark them visually for admins

2026-05-14T22:59:59+00:00

update.rb records transcoded_to in album.json (even on re-runs where
the MP4 already exists) so the marker survives across scans.

app.rb filters files with transcoded_to from non-admin views.
album.erb renders them greyed-out with an amber "⚠ original" badge in
admin mode. admin/album.erb marks the edit-table row and shows the
target filename under the original.

Auto-transcode non-browser-playable videos to MP4 in update.rb

2026-05-14T22:53:09+00:00

On each run, any .avi, .mkv, or .mov file without a same-named .mp4
sibling is transcoded with ffmpeg (H.264/AAC, CRF 23, faststart).
The original is kept on disk and hidden in album.json so only the
playable MP4 appears in the UI; admins can un-hide the original if
needed.

Add organize_by_day.rb script for GPS-based day/location splitting

2026-05-12T15:11:23+00:00

Groups media files in an album directory by EXIF date, reverse-geocodes
the first GPS fix of each day via Nominatim, and moves files into
"Day N - Location" subdirectories. Dry-run by default; pass --go to
execute. Supports a LOCATION_OVERRIDES map for cleaning up Nominatim
names that are overly granular.

Add photo counts, EXIF details, video duration badges, slideshow launcher UI

2026-05-12T14:45:00+00:00

- Album cards show recursive photo count (bubbles up through sub-albums).
- Lightbox info panel shows camera, aperture, shutter speed, and ISO;
  update.rb now extracts and stores these EXIF fields.
- Video thumbnail cards show a duration badge (e.g. "1:23").
- Slideshow launcher redesigned: button on its own line, with Shuffle /
  Full screen / Interval options on a second line, all inside a rounded
  border to make the grouping clear.
- Fixed album-actions alignment so Interval sits level with the checkboxes.

Prune orphaned thumbnails when update.rb removes deleted files

2026-05-12T12:17:40+00:00

When a media file is deleted from disk, also delete its cached
thumbnail from cache/thumbs/ so stale .th.jpg files don't accumulate.

Fix taken_at timezone: store and display as camera local time

2026-05-09T15:53:18+00:00

EXIF DateTimeOriginal has no timezone — it's the camera's wall clock.
Storing it via .iso8601 attached +00:00 (server TZ), causing browsers
to shift the time to their local zone when parsing. Switch to
strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S') so no offset is written. JS strips any
existing +00:00 suffix from already-stored values so old data is also
displayed correctly.
