# Hello!
#
# These are settings for PhotoStructure, and are formatted using TOML. See
# <https://github.com/toml-lang/toml>.
#
# NOTE: Please shut down PhotoStructure before editing this file.
#
# Most settings have reasonable defaults, which are provided after the
# description. Remove the "#" from the beginning of the line to override the
# default.
#
# Thanks for using PhotoStructure! Visit <https://support.photostructure.com>

# If set, this email will be added to error reports, so we can contact you to
# help debug the issue. It is not required.
# (env: PS_EMAIL)
#
# email = "[email protected]"


# If true, PhotoStructure will send crash reports when it encounters errors.
# Crash reports may include the path to the file that caused an error, system
# metadata, and recent log messages.
# (env: PS_REPORT_ERRORS)
#
# reportErrors = true


# Set this to zero to remove all bugs in PhotoStructure.
#
# HUR HUR #DADJOKE
#
# If your system generates more than this number of errors in the course of a
# day, the subsequent error reports will not be reported.
# (env: PS_MAX_ERRORS_PER_DAY)
#
# maxErrorsPerDay = 3


# Network port for rpc access to your PhotoStructure library. Only binds to
# loopback (even if exposeNetworkWithoutAuth is true).
# (env: PS_RPC_PORT)
#
# rpcPort = 1807


# Network port for HTTP access to your PhotoStructure library.
# (env: PS_HTTP_PORT)
#
# httpPort = 1787


# How long should unused HTTP sessions exist before requiring visitors to log
# back in? This defaults to 180 days, just to maximize convenience.
# (env: PS_SESSION_TIMEOUT_HOURS)
# {"minValue":1,"maxValue":8760}
#
# sessionTimeoutHours = 4320


# Normally the web service is bound to loopback, so your PhotoStructure
# library is only accessible to the computer running PhotoStructure. Setting
# this to true will expose your library to all computers on your network (if
# they know your PhotoStructure port). You should own or trust all systems on
# that network, as there is no auth in PhotoStructure currently. Future
# versions of PhotoStructure will add authorization mechanisms, at which point
# this setting will be deleted.
#
# ** Don't enable this unless you know what you're doing. **
# (env: PS_EXPOSE_NETWORK_WITHOUT_AUTH)
#
# exposeNetworkWithoutAuth = false


# If you chose to copy assets into your library, they will be copied into
# <library directory>/<result of this pattern>/<original imagename>.
# See
# <https://moment.github.io/luxon/docs/class/src/datetime.js~DateTime.html#
# instance-method-toFormat> and
# <https://moment.github.io/luxon/docs/manual/formatting.html#table-of-
# tokens>.
# (env: PS_ASSET_SUBDIR_FORMAT)
#
# assetSubdirectoryDatestampFormat = "y/y-MM-dd"


# Should JPEG photos be validated before importing? If a JPEG has any decoding
# errors, and this setting is true, that file will not be imported into your
# library. Enabling this feature slows down imports.
# (env: PS_VALIDATE_JPEG_IMAGES)
#
# validateJpegImages = true


# Should raw-format images (like NEF, CR2, ARW, and ORF) be validated before
# importing? If an image has any decoding errors, and this setting is true,
# that file will not be imported into your library. Enabling this feature
# slows down imports.
# (env: PS_VALIDATE_RAW_IMAGES)
#
# validateRawImages = true


# Should videos be validated before importing? If a video has any decoding
# errors, and this setting is true, that file will not be imported into your
# library. Enabling this feature slows down imports, as videos must be
# "played" to be validated. Only ffmpeg currently supports video validation;
# if you use VLC, this setting is ignored. Note that if you set
# transcodeVideos to true, this setting is effectively true for all videos
# that aren't MP4-encoded.
# (env: PS_VALIDATE_VIDEOS)
#
# validateVideos = true


# Should videos be transcoded during import? VLC must be installed. Note that
# this dramatically slows down imports, and *dramatically* increases the disk
# space your library will need to use. If this is set to false, though, your
# browser will not be able to render your videos unless they are already MP4-
# encoded.
# (env: PS_TRANSCODE_VIDEOS)
#
# transcodeVideos = true


# When capturing a frame from videos for thumbnails, how many seconds should
# be passed over before capturing a frame? A value of 0 means capture from the
# start of the video. Frequently, though, videos start out of focus, so we
# default to 1 for better frame clarity.
# Note that if a video is shorter than this value, the frame will be captured
# from the middle of the video.
# (env: PS_VIDEO_FRAME_AT_SEC)
#
# videoFrameAtSec = 1


# When PhotoStructure crops images and videos to square thumbnails, it needs
# to crop non-square images to a square. The default, "attention," focuses on
# faces and higher image energy, but is more expensive than simply cropping to
# the center of the image (which is faster, but will mean less-nice cropping,
# where faces are chopped in half). More details are available here:
# https://sharp.dimens.io/en/stable/api-resize/
# (env: PS_SQUARE_THUMB_STRATEGY)
# {"validValues":["center","entropy","attention"]}
#
# squareThumbStrategy = "attention"


# Should previews be sharpened? This can make the images "pop" a bit more, but
# almost doubles the time it takes to make the thumbnails.
# (env: PS_SHARPEN)
#
# sharpen = false


# Should preview JPEGs be progressively encoded? If set, thumbnails will take
# ~15% longer to generate, but FHD/QHD/UHD previews will be smaller.
# (env: PS_PROGRESSIVE)
#
# progressive = true


# This controls the resolutions that PhotoStructure creates for every asset.
# Note that resolutions will be skipped if there already is a preview value
# with 2.5x the megapixels, so even though there are a lot of sizes here,
# you'll only see 3-4 images on your disk per asset.
# (env: PS_PREVIEW_RESOLUTIONS)
# {"validValues":["uhd8k","uhd5k","uhd4k","qhd","fhd","hd","wvga","qvga","qqvga"]}
#
# previewResolutions = [
#   "uhd4k",
#   "qhd",
#   "fhd",
#   "hd",
#   "wvga",
#   "qvga",
#   "qqvga"
# ]


# Filesystem traversal can be dangerous business with scratched CDROMs and old
# busted hard drives. To prevent PhotoStructure from getting "stuck" when
# trying to read these devices, it will timeout directory iteration if reading
# a directory entry exceeds this value. The default of 30 seconds should cover
# most issues with spun-down hard drives and NAS/WAN latency.
# (env: PS_STAT_TIMEOUT_SECONDS)
# {"minValue":1,"maxValue":300}
#
# statTimeoutSeconds = 30


# What's the minimum photo or video size you want imported into your library?
# (This can prevent small GIFs and screenshots from being imported).
# (env: PS_MIN_ASSET_SIZE)
#
# minFileSizeBytes = 50000


# What's the maximum photo or video size you want imported into your library?
# (This can prevent movies from being pulled into and filling up your library)
# (env: PS_MAX_ASSET_SIZE)
#
# maxFileSizeBytes = 500000000


# Normally PhotoStructure requires images to have an EXIF tags for Make and
# Model. This prevents unwanted preview images from other photo apps and
# screenshots from being imported. If you have images you want in your library
# that don't have these tags, set this to false. Note that this is ignored for
# video files, as those files seldom have Make and Model set (and would
# prevent most video files from being imported).
# (env: PS_REQUIRE_MAKE_MODEL)
#
# requireMakeModel = true


# What's the minimum number of pixels an image's dimensions must meet or
# exceed to be imported? Note that this value is applied to both the height
# and width of the image. The default comes from the VGA standard of 640x480.
# (env: PS_MIN_IMAGE_DIMENSION)
#
# minImageDimension = 480


# What's the minimum number of pixels a video's dimensions must meet or exceed
# to be imported? Note that this value is applied to both the height and width
# of the video. The default comes from the QVGA standard of 320x240.
# (env: PS_MIN_VIDEO_DIMENSION)
#
# minVideoDimension = 240


# Paths to files or directories that should not be ignored, even if they are
# hidden or have .nomedia files.
# (env: PS_NEVER_IGNORED)
#
# neverIgnored = []


# Should processing be paused by default when PhotoStructure starts? You'll
# have the manually resume processing via the system tray menu.
# (env: PS_START_PAUSED)
#
# startPaused = false


# This value controls both how often the sync process runs, and how often new
# files are discovered and imported. WARNING: Setting this value to a small
# value (say, less than 10) will mean PhotoStructure is constantly scanning
# your disks, which may reduce the lifespan of your storage media. Note that
# setting this and fileSyncIntervalHours to 0 will disable automatic
# scheduling of the sync process. This defaults to every day (to balance
# picking up new files automatically and trying to avoid unnecessary wear and
# tear on your storage media).
# (env: PS_SYNC_INTERVAL_HOURS)
# {"minValue":0,"maxValue":504}
#
# syncIntervalHours = 24


# This value controls how often the files in your library are checked for
# changes. The `syncIntervalHours` setting, in contrast, controls how often
# *new* files are discovered. This defaults to every week (to try to balance
# picking up changes with wear and tear on your storage media)
# (env: PS_FILE_SYNC_INTERVAL_HOURS)
# {"minValue":0,"maxValue":1344}
#
# fileSyncIntervalHours = 168


# What type of sidecar file do you want to generate for non-destructive edits?
# (env: PS_DEFAULT_SIDECAR_TYPE)
# {"validValues":["EXIF","EXV","MIE","XMP"]}
#
# defaultSidecarType = "XMP"


# Should changes made through the UI, like rotations, captions, and keywords,
# be written to a sidecar (which will be created if missing), or should
# metadata be saved to a copy of the original?
# (env: PS_WRITE_METADATA_TO_SIDECARS)
#
# writeMetadataToSidecars = true


# Should image hashes be computed? This slows down imports, but supports more
# robust asset merging heuristcs, and allows color-based browsing
# (env: PS_USE_IMAGE_HASHES)
#
# useImageHashes = true


# This is the minimum image hash correlation value for images to be considered
# similar, and controls how aggressively images are merged with each other. A
# higher number requires strong image correlation. 100 (or 100%) requires
# exact image correlation, and is not recommended. A value of less than 60% is
# fairly low image correlation, and can lead to false positives.
# (env: PS_MIN_IMAGE_CORR_PCT)
# {"minValue":0,"maxValue":100}
#
# minImageCorrPct = 80


# This is the minimum jaccard correlation found between dominant image colors,
# and controls how aggressively images are merged with each other. A higher
# number requires strong dominant color correlation. 100 (or 100%) requires
# exact dominant color correlation. A value of less than 40% indicates fairly
# low correlation of dominant colors, and can lead to false positives.
# (env: PS_MIN_DOMINANT_COLOR_CORR_PCT)
# {"minValue":0,"maxValue":100}
#
# minDominantColorCorrPct = 60

# Normally when subsystems crash, PhotoStructure restarts them after a delay.
# Unfortunately, if there is a persistent error, this means PhotoStructure
# keeps trying something that won't ever work; it looks busy, but it's just
# busy failing. To prevent this situation, PhotoStructure will shut down if
# there are high error rates within 2 minutes of starting. (2 minutes should
# be long enough to spin up the web process, sync process, and import a
