DESCRIPTION

       zoph is the command  line  importer  for  the  Zoph  (Zoph  Organizes  PHotos)  web  photo
       management system.
       Any  fields  specified  will  be applied to every photo imported.  Any albums, categories,
       people or places referred to must already be present in the database.
       Imported photos are moved or copied (depending on whether --copy was specified) from their
       current  location  and  stored  in  in  a directory below IMAGE_DIR - dependent on --path,
       --dateddirs and --hierarchical settings. The MySQL database stores all the attributes  and
       references to the images.
       Photos  can  appear  in  multiple  albums  and categories, and multiple people can be in a
       photo. To handle this, you can either pass a comma separated list or set the flag multiple
       times.  If multiple people appear in a photo, specify them in left to right, front to back
       order.

OPTIONS

       The `"' around arguments are needed to prevent breaking up around whitespace or the  shell
       interpreting  special  characters.  If an album name consist of a single word you can omit
       them.

       --instance, -i

              You can have multiple  Zoph  installations  on  one  system.  For  example  a  Zoph
              installation  for  yourself  and one for a family member or friend, or if you are a
              Zoph developper, a production and a  development   version.  The  webinterface  can
              determine  which  installation your are using by the URL you are using. The command
              line interface does not have an URL thus it needs a different way to find out which
              instance of Zoph is used.

              By default, the first instance in zoph.ini is used.

       --import, -I

              The list of photos given will be imported in Zoph. This is the default.

       --update, -u

              Zoph  will  try  to  find  the  given  list of photos in the database and apply the
              options to those photos. You can either give a list of filenames or a list of id's,
              see --useIds.

       --new, -N

              Create  albums,  categories,  places and people from CLI.  Use --album "new album",
              --category "new category", --person "new person", --place "new location".  The  new
              object  will  be  created directly under the root unless --parent is specified. See
              --person for details on how Zoph determines what's the first and second name.

       --help

              Lists all supported options and quits

       --version, -V

              Show the current Zoph version.

       --album, --albums, -a "album, [, album]"

              put the references to the image(s) into album(s)

       --category, --categories, -c "category [, category]"

              put the references to the image(s) into category(s)

       --photographer, -P "first_name last_name"

              store first_name last_name as the photographer of image(s)

       --person, --persons, -p, --people "first_name last_name [, first_name last_name]"

              Specify one or multiple persons that  appear  on  the  photos  specified.  You  can
              specify --person multiple times.

              The name of a person or a list of persons separated by commas. The person must pre-
              exist in the database. When using --new to add new persons to  the  database,  Zoph
              will try to determine which parts of the name are first, middle and last. If a name
              is a single word ("John"), Zoph assumes this is the first name. If a  name  is  two
              words  ("John Doe"), Zoph will assume this is the first and last name. If a name is
              3 or more words, Zoph will assume the first word is the first name, the second is a
              middle  name  and  all remaining words are the last name. If this does not give the
              correct results, you can choose to separate by colon (":") instead of  space.  Zoph
              will then set the part before the first colon to first name, then middle, then last
              and finally 'called'.

       --location, -l, --place "place_title"

              put the references to the image(s) into location

       --fields, -f, --field name="value"

              set the image(s) field name to value; common fields are title (text, 64 chars max),
              view  (text,  64  chars  max), description (text), rating (1..10) or level (1..10);
              possible fields are from the MySQL database, table photos;
              view can be used to describe what can be seen in the photo.  Often this is  covered
              by  the  location  field  but  sometimes  you might want to be more specific, or to
              describe something you don't want to store in the database as a location  (view  is
              just  a  string).   In  the  demo  the  view field is used in a photo of Big Ben in
              London: the location is set to Parliament (since that was  where  the  photographer
              was  standing)  and the view to Big Ben (since that was what where the photographer
              was looking at).
              In the description field you can store  additional  information  that  doesn't  fit
              elsewhere.
              level is used for access privileges.  When someone is granted permission to view an
              album, they are also granted an access level for that album.  They will be able  to
              view  photos in that album whose level is less than or equal to their access level.
              This is so you can selectively exclude photos by giving them a higher level.

       --thumbs, -t / --nothumbs, --nothumbs, -n

              Specify whether thumbnails should be created.

              When  importing  (--import),  the  default  is  to  create  thumbs.  When  updating
              (--update), the default is to not create thumbs.

              Use  these  commands  to  overrule the defaults. If you want to recreate thumbs for
              already imported photos, use --thumbs. If you do  not  want  to  create  thumbnails
              while importing, use --no-thumbs.

       --exif, --EXIF / --no-exif, --noexif, --no-EXIF, --noEXIF

              Specify whether EXIF data should be read.

              When  importing  (--import),  the  default  is  to  read  EXIF  data. When updating
              (--update), the default is to not read EXIF data.

       --size / --no-size, --nosize

              Specify whether Zoph should update the  dimensions  of  the  photo  stored  in  the
              database.

              When importing (--import), the default is to update database with dimensions of the
              image. When updating (--update), the default is to not update the size information.

              Use these commands to overrule the defaults. If you want to update the  information
              stored  in  the  database  when updating, use --size. If you do not want store size
              information while importing (although I see no real use for this), use --no-size.

       --useids, --useIds, --use-ids, --useid, --use-id

              When updating photos it can be useful to be able to specify database ids instead of
              filenames.

              You  can  specify  a  list  of  ids  instead of a list of filenames. You can either
              specify a single id or a range of ids. Keep in mind that the list of  filenames  or
              ids  are the last options of the command and do not necessarily follow the --useids
              option.

              You can specify ids as single numbers or ranges. For example:

              zoph --update --useids 2 5 11-20 56

              Without specifying this option, zoph assumes filenames are  used.  Specifying  this
              option implies --update is used.

       --move / --copy

              When  importing photos, you can either import a copy of the photo or move the photo
              into the Zoph image directory. By default, files are moved.

              If the file imported is a symlink, in case of  --move,  a  copy  of  the  file  the
              symlink  points  to  is imported and the symlink is deleted. In case of --copy, the
              symlink is not deleted.

       --dateddirs, --datedDirs, --dated,  -d  /  --no-dateddirs  --no-datedDirs,  --nodateddirs,
       --nodatedDirs

              put photos in YYYY.MM.DD directories, which are automatically created from the date
              in the EXIF header, or, when no date is found in the EXIF header,  the  file  date.
              The directories are created below path

       --hierarchical, --hier, -H / --no-hierarchical, --no-hier, --nohierarchical, --nohier

              when  given together with the --datedDirs option, the dated directories are created
              YYYYMMDD (instead of YYYY.MM.DD), thus creating a hierarchical directory tree.  The
              directories are created below path

       --hash / --no-hash

              As  of  v0.8.4  Zoph stores a hash of each photo in the database. This is currently
              only used for the 'share photo' feature. In the  future  other  features  will  use
              this,  as  it  will  allow  Zoph  to  detect whether a photo has been changed.  The
              default is to generate a hash or update the hash when --update is used.

       --parent

              When adding new objects to the database using the --new option, you  can  determine
              where  in  the  tree  an  album,  category  or  place  will be placed by specifying
              --parent.

              If you do not specify a parent, the new object will be placed  directly  under  the
              root.

              --parent  must  precede the actual album, category or place. The parent is only set
              for the next --album, --category or --place.

       --autoadd, -A, --auto-add

              You can use --new to add albums, categories,  places  and  people  from  CLI,  with
              autoadd you can add them in the same run as you are importing photos. Zoph will add
              any album, category, etc. you have specified,  but  does  not  exist.  However,  to
              protect  you  from every typo to be automatically added to the database, only items
              preceded with --parent will be added, unless you  specify  --addalways.  Of  course
              this  only  works  for  albums,  categories  and locations, and not for persons and
              photographers.

       --addallways, -w, --add-alwys

              When using --autoadd, zoph protects you from every typo to be  automatically  added
              to  the  database  by  only  adding  albums,  categories and location preceded with
              --parent. To overrule this behaviour, use --addalways,  which  causes  them  to  be
              added under the root album, category or location.

       --recursive, -r

              Recursively  go  through directories added to the file list and import photos found
              in those dirs as well.

       --dirpattern

              With  --dirpattern,  you  can  automatically  assign  albums,  categories,  people,
              photographer,  location  or path based on the directories the photos are in. You do
              this by specifying a pattern, based on which  Zoph  will  use  directory  names  to
              assign to correct organizer. This pattern consists of a list of letters, where each
              letter is a directory: a  (album),  c  (category),  l  (location),  p  (person),  P
              (photographer) and D (path).

              This option makes no sense if you do not specify --recursive as well.

       --verbose

              show verbosely whats going on (not implemented in v0.8.4)

       --path path

              the  path  relative  to  IMAGE_DIR  (set  in  config.inc.php), where the images are
              physically stored

       file ...

              The filenames or database ids (in case --useids is used)  of  the  image(s)  to  be
              imported or updated.

EXAMPLES

       Import IMG_1300.JPG and place it in the album Summer and category Landscapes:

              zoph --album "Summer" --category "Landscapes" IMG_1300.JPG

       Import  john.jpg and place it in the album Family, category Portraits and specify John Doe
       is in this picture:

              zoph --album "Family" --category "Portraits" --person "John Doe" john.jpg

       Create a new album called summer 2011 under the root album:

              zoph --new --album "Summer 2011"

       Create new albums called Summer 2011 and Winter 2011 under the Holidays album:

              zoph --new --parent "Holidays" --album "Summer 2011, Winter 2011"

       Create new albums called Summer 2011 and Winter 2011 under the Holidays album and an album
       Trees under the root album:

              zoph --new --parent "Holidays" --album "Summer 2011, Winter 2011" --album "Trees"

       Create new albums called Summer 2011 and Winter 2011 under the Holidays album and an album
       Trees under the Nature album:

              zoph --new --parent "Holidays" --album "Summer 2011, Winter 2011" --parent "Nature"
              --album "Trees"

       Create  a new album called Summer 2011 under the Holidays album and a category Trees under
       the Nature category:

              zoph --new --parent "Holidays" --album "Summer 2011" --parent  "Nature"  --category
              "Trees"

       Import all files in the current directory and the directories below. For each path, assign
       the name of the first directory as photographer, the  second  as  album,  and  the  third,
       fourth and fifth as categories.

              zoph -r --dirpattern "Paccc" *
