Using media masters syncronized with Android
Fetch from Android
Finishing a photo session,
connect the phone to the computer with USB cable and use the following command:
git annex sync --content phone
Move the synchronized photos
(exchange 210724-1 with the actual date):
mkdir 210724-1
git mv incoming/OpenCamera/* 210724-1
git annex fix
If connection fails...
Under the hood,
git annex uses ADB to connect to the Android system.
The ADB connection requires physically connecting the device,
but also the Android system needs to permit ADB access.
If connection fails,
then check on the Android system that ADB is active
(e.g. a status message saying "USB debugging enabled").
Otherwise try disconnect and reconnect cables,
and if still no indication that ADB is enabled
then go into system setup below developer setting
and enable ADB debugger,
and then disconnect and reconnect again.
Flush Android storage
Empty the camera of the synced photos:
git annex sync --content phone
Unlock
If there is need for editing media files,
they need to first be "unlocked".
You can unlock a specific file:
git annex unlock 210724-1/my_precious_file.jpg
...or a directory:
git annex unlock 210724-1
Lock
To ensure integrity of annexed files
(and to save space: unlocked files require two copies),
make sure to lock when done editing.
You can lock a specific file:
git annex lock 210724-1/my_precious_file.jpg
...or a directory:
git annex lock 210724-1
