Synchronize Cli Options

Starsky Sync Indexer:

With this command line tool it possible to manual sync the filesystem with the database, update one file in the database. The goal of this wrapper is to get command line access to the photo index database.

Before you start

When you start this application at first please update the appsettings.json

{
  "App": {
    "ThumbnailTempFolder": "Y:\\data\\photodirectory\\temp",
    "StorageFolder": "Y:\\data\\photodirectory\\storage",
    "DatabaseType": "mysql",
    "DatabaseConnection": "Server=mysqlserver.nl;database=dbname;uid=username;pwd=password;",
    "ExifToolPath": "C:\\exiftool.exe",
    "Structure": "/yyyy/MM/yyyy_MM_dd*/yyyyMMdd_HHmmss_{filenamebase}.ext",
    "ReadOnlyFolders": ["/2015","/2018"],
    "AddMemoryCache": "true"
  }
}

TIP: When using a boolean in the json add quotes. Booleans without quotes are ignored. So use "true" instead of true

TIP: For windows use double escape backslashes to avoid crashes

Appsettings Notes

1. The Structure-setting is used by the StarskyImporterCli and the /import endpoint. This always uses slash as directory marker.
2. The settings: ExifToolPath, ThumbnailTempFolder and StorageFolder uses the system path. When using Windows please escape the backslash, otherwise the application will crash.
3. The AddMemoryCache setting is ignored in the console/cli applications
