⚠️ Breaking Change: Reorganized Photo Structure

Overview

Starting from version 4.5.0, the photo storage structure has been completely reorganized. This is a breaking change that requires migration.

Previous Structure (< v4.5.0)

storage/app/public/
├── photos/          (original size)
│   └── {teamId}/
│       └── {personId}_{index}_{timestamp}.{ext}
├── photos-096/      (small size)
│   └── {teamId}/
│       └── {personId}_{index}_{timestamp}.{ext}
└── photos-384/      (medium size)
    └── {teamId}/
        └── {personId}_{index}_{timestamp}.{ext}

New Structure (≥ v4.5.0)

storage/app/public/photos/
└── {teamId}/
    └── {personId}/
        ├── {personId}_{index}_{timestamp}.{ext}         (original size)
        ├── {personId}_{index}_{timestamp}_small.{ext}   (small size)
        └── {personId}_{index}_{timestamp}_medium.{ext}  (medium size)

Key Changes

  • Consolidated location: All photo sizes are now stored under a single photos/ directory
  • Person-based organization: Photos are now grouped by individual person rather than scattered across size-specific folders
  • Simplified naming: Size variants use suffixes (_small, _medium) instead of separate directories

Migration

A migration script is available to automatically convert your existing photo structure:

[View Migration Implementation →](https://github.com/MGeurts/genealogy/commit/ce79f4155947cb37503b2e1f104ce50de8cd3b04)

Detailed Information

For complete migration instructions, please read the dedicated migration guide:

[📖 Photo Migration Guide](https://github.com/MGeurts/genealogy/blob/main/README-PHOTO-MIGRATION.md)

⚠️ Critical:

  • The migration automatically backs up your old photo structure
  • Migration must be executed only once
