krites ingest¶

Description¶

Register a folder of frames as a shoot workspace. krites indexes the supported still frames in the folder and writes a .krites/ sidecar (the manifest) alongside them. It is non-destructive: your originals are neither moved nor modified, and only the .krites/ sidecar is added.

Supported formats: JPEG, PNG, and the TIFF-container RAWs: ARW, CR2, NEF, DNG. A RAW frame is culled, previewed and exported through the full-size JPEG preview embedded in its container, extracted in pure Go with no native RAW decoder. krites doesn't decode RAW sensor data, by design: RAW latitude is Lightroom's job. See What krites does not do.

Usage¶

krites ingest <dir> [flags]

<dir> is the folder to register (required).

Flags¶

Flag	Description	Default
`--name`	Shoot name	the folder's base name
`--output`	Output format: `text` or `json`	`text`

Examples¶

# Register a folder of JPEGs as a shoot
krites ingest ~/shoots/smith-wedding

# Give the shoot an explicit name and emit machine-readable JSON
krites ingest ~/shoots/smith-wedding --name "Smith Wedding" --output json

Text output:

Registered shoot "smith-wedding" — 3814 frames (/home/hailey/shoots/smith-wedding)

Next step¶

Run krites cull to judge the registered frames.
