PhotoFUSE

Tags: python linux

The key to taking great photos is taking a lot of photos. Most of them will suck, but that’s how it goes.

My photos break down into the following buckets

  • 9165 photos total
  • 424 rated 3+
  • 95 rated 3+ with the tag Dog
  • 3 rated 4+

I want to see the good photos on a regular basis without maintaining a separate list or directory of the good stuff. I use xscreensaver’s photopile program, and it likes to read photos from directories.

PhotoFUSE uses FUSE and fusepy along with PIL to expose a subset of my photo collection as a virtual directory, filtered by rating and tags.

I’ve already found and fixed a leaky file handles bug, so you won’t surprise me if you find other issues.
