I bought this add-on hoping for a couple thing it apparently doesn't do.

1) some sort of album display based on the directory hierarchy
2) ability to parse large amounts of images for display in the application

I can't see it being practical to import over 500,000 images with the current system.

Any advice?
 
There's the bulk content importer: https://v3-docs.chevereto.com/features/bulk-content-importer.html which is the thing you use to mass import. Perhaps you trouble yourself with how to allocate the files, but there are plenty systems already made for that. Rsync, to start with.

Regarding folder sync, check this: https://chevereto.com/community/threads/thoughts-on-a-folder-sync-mode-for-chevereto.12557

Your concept of a live parsing/sort based on the file system can't be used for a collection that big, it will require an initial indexing just like every system built for such process.

The bulk importer is just to slow and it doubles my disk space when I already have a duplicate backup.

Folder sink is interesting but my point #1 still exists.

Actually Piwigo has a batch system "synchronise file structure with database" that did 1/2 images in about 5 hours.
 
Did you used the web based importer or the auto importer?
 
Yeah that could be the issue. In the docs I'm missed to mention that the automatic importer should be the alternative for large collections.

For that method you can define N threads based on your hardware capabilities. Is the best method to proces a very large collection.
 
I'll have a look at that. I'm still baffled though how I can present Galleries or Albums based on the directory hierarchy. When I view the home page its one big album.
