  • Unfortunately I’m afraid they’re lost (I think). UPD: see kolorafa’s comment

    There’s some alternatives if you’re willing to continue with that:

    Aves Gallery on android (is on fdroid) can embed comments into image long term metadata. But I have not tested it after transfer.

    Creating a directory Gallery with markdown files and a subdir for all images and then writing comments inside those markdown files with a link to the local image. Very simple to do with Obsidian or similar markdown-powered software.

    Out of the top of my head I can think of two structures for that:

    1. /Year/month/day/ dirs, hoursminutesecond.png and hourminutesecond.txt with the comment per photo.

    2. /Gallery/images/datetime.png and /Gallery/yearmonth_gallery.md with comments and links to multiple images for that month.

    And probably more that I’m not aware of myself.


  • If that comment is true and you don’t have the database anymore then there’s no hope.

    If you were writing comments to understand which file is which then consider a directory scheme for sorting your files and add readme.md files in a narrow category of files to describe them. I do something like: All coding projects go into home/code, each project has a readme. Etc.

    If you were just logging for history purposes ie good memories in photos I’d suggest just making a markdown gallery. Or something similar.
