FAQ GeoPhoto

Yes! There is a "Select" button on the bottom of the grid view page (e.g. the "Pictures without geotag" page) that allows you to select all the pictures that you want to assign to the same location. Once you did that, you can use the "Geotag" button to choose the location on the map and save it to the selected pictures.

Possible reasons could be:

• You didn't select the correct folder in the app settings. Only the added and selected folders are being used to search pictures.
• A date filter has been set in the app settings and the images are outside the selected date interval.
• The pictures don't contain a geotag - you then find these pictures in the "Pictures without geotag" page and can assign a geotag to them.
• The folder you selected is located on an external drive or network drive. GeoPhoto might not have the needed permissions to read the folder contents in that case.
• The files haven't been indexed by the file system yet. In the Windows app, you can choose to ignore the file system index in the app settings. However, this will slow down the file scanning process.
• The pictures aren't in a compatible file format. Currently, the following formats are supported: .jpg, .jpeg, .heic, .arw, .cr2, .cr3, .dng, .nef, .orf, .rw2, .rw1, .srw, .dng, .tif, .tiff, .mp4, .mov, .avi.

If the progress bar doesn't update for a while and it appears that the app got stuck while loading the pictures, this does not mean that the loading process has stalled. In particular, if the app reads a folder that contains many files, the progress bar will not update until all files in that folder have been processed.

No, GeoPhoto does not upload any of your data, pictures or videos to the internet. The OneDrive integration only uses your pictures located in your personal OneDrive storage to show on the map, but none of your personal data is uploaded at any time.

Yes, this should work in most cases. However, in some cases, Windows does not send the GeoPhoto app the required event to signal that there have been files added or removed to the folders you have selected in the app. For example, this feature does not work for NAS or network folders.

GeoPhoto uses the picture & video thumbnails created by Windows. If they do not appear in the app but only a loading circle is visible, then those thumbnails likely have not been created yet. You can try to open the corresponding folder in the Windows Explorer to trigger the creation of the thumbnails.

If you cannot see a map after starting GeoPhoto, this could be a defect of Windows or the Maps component hasn't been initialized yet. Please check if the pre-installed Maps app works properly.

Feel free to add your ideas and feature requests to the feedback forum or vote on existing ones.

I am actively on the app: fixing bugs, provide support, implement new features. All that takes a lot of time. Purchasing the Pro version allows me to spend that time in the future as well. You can also send me a small donation via PayPal.
What helps even more is your ratings & reviews in the App Store. I read every single one of them and they motivate me incredibly while building this app! Also, they help GeoPhoto becoming more visible in the App Store for other people. If you enjoy the app, I'd be more than happy about a short 5-star review - thanks! 💙

Feel free to reach out to me via mail. I'll happily provide further assistance.
