Error organizing folders

[junaidxabd]

When I try to "Organize Folders" it loads for a bit then just displays a complete progress bar with an exclamation mark. In the output folders there are just empty folders with no files in them. Is there any way to get error messages? If I output to the same folder it does start doing something but then crashes. I tried it on Windows, it does most of them but then crashes.

Hi @junaidxabd, I see you're using the Debug version, which should open the inspector panel automatically. Do any messages display in the Console tab when it stops processing folders?

In the meantime, one way that might help get around this issue is to split your Google Photos Export folder into a couple of smaller folders—when I first made the export organizer app, I didn't have a lot of files to play around with for optimization, so it's possible the app is attempting to process more files than it can handle.
Running it on multiple folders that have been separated out should work fine so long as the output folder is set to the same one each time. Let me know if that helps!

Same issue, the merge button just does, nothing. Even when set to only work on one album at a time. Arch Linux

[Alamantus]

@Bitwolfies I'm not able to debug on Arch linux, but it's possible that the app doesn't have the permissions it needs. Try launching it with sudo and see if that makes the merge button do anything?
