I've been experimenting with a stand-alone macOS menubar app for running osxphotos and I've got the an alpha version working showing that's it possible to run osxphotos this way. The basic idea at the moment is that you would put one or osxphotos TOML config files in a folder watched by the tool (provisionally called PhotoWagon...it loads up your photos and takes them somewhere) and then the tool periodically runs the export. Initially, everything will be configured via the TOML file using a separate [schedule] setting but eventually I'd like to add a GUI scheduling window to specify when to run the export. One major limitation is that I don't think it will be able to run exiftool due to macOS app permissions. I have figured out how to natively write metadata to photos (but not RAW or videos) via a new project, CGMetadata, so that might be an option in the future.
Does this sound useful? Any suggestions for killer features you'd like to see? At this point it's just a rough prototype but I think this would be easier than setting up a LaunchAgent to run osxphotos and solves some of the permissions issues involved with trying to run via crond or launchd.
Still toying with the TOML config but thinking something like this:
[schedule]
run = "daily"start = "02:00"dest = "/Volumes/Photos/backup"
