- It is recomanded backup of your photos in oreder to avoid any data loss
- This software requires Java runtime 1.7
java -jar expose.jar <source> <target>
- source: directory of the Picasa document collection
- target: directory where stared document are copied. This directory must be initially empty. The target must be in the same filesystem as the source and the file system must support hardlinks.
Warning: The target is purged for the documents that are not seend stared in the source. It means the files and directory in the target can be lost.
First the program scans recursively the directory hierarchy, looking for Picasa '.ini' files. Then the files are parsed in order to extract the list of stared documents. Now a directory is created for every album that hold at least one stared file. The album is populated with links to the original documents. Finally the files & directories of the target that no longer match a stared document of the input are removed.
