PHOTO home 1.0.0

About PHOTO home

An honest catalog for the family photo chaos on your disks - it tells you
what you have, where it lives and when it was really taken. Nothing moves
until you say so.
Tier A only reads: check folders or disks, the program builds an index and
answers with search (date, event label, camera, file name) and a thumbnail
grid that works even when the drive is unplugged. Every indexing run ends
with an Archive X-ray report: where your dates come from, how many files
lack a reliable date, and your "line in time".
Dates are resolved honestly and the source is recorded for every file:
camera EXIF (with backup fields) - file name (WhatsApp style) - folder
name - modification time with an explicit "unreliable" label. Competitors
silently file undated photos into today's date; this program labels them
and keeps them in a separate _UNDATED work zone instead.
Tier B - organizing - runs only when you press the button: the program
proposes a Year\Month plan with event labels, you review it, the default
is COPY, and every action lands in a full UNDO journal with a one-click
rollback. The same content is never copied twice (verified byte for byte).
Android phone import over the USB cable: the program finds photo locations
itself (DCIM, WhatsApp, screenshots), copies them to your disk and never
writes a byte to the phone.
Fully offline: no cloud, no telemetry, no accounts, no ads. Free software,
GPL v3. UI in English and Lithuanian. Working data lives in
%LOCALAPPDATA%\PhotoHome; portable mode via a marker file next to the exe.
