[plug] Archiving / copying photos

[plugger at thegeezer.net]

Nextcloud has some good examples of face matching
https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/facerecognition  so you can filter and
copy out, though you would need to setup the source as external storage
moutned on your server.  free as in opensource, but you can run it in a
container.  requires 4GB RAM for the pdlib face recognition elements
though, but at least you dont have to upload everything to google. 

ACDsee also have a face recognition element you might be interested in,
that is an image cataloguing app so you can more easily use it, though
it does require an indexing stage and then face recognition stage takes
a while.  the photo studio is a few hundred bucks though, but the face
recogntion works well and can be fine tuned easily. 

If you are looking for a simple press 1 to copy directory 1 while you
cycle through, check out www.irfanview.com [1] - it even has a thumbnail
view . it's free it's fast and it's quick 

Would also recommend the disk image approach for later review -
especially if there are other friends or family that would like to
see/share those same images you choose to discard

Little things that can't be recreated once disposed of.
