You can start with what you can. What can provide the most value and iteratively improve from there.
Sometimes as a developer or even product manager, you don't know what feature complete really means until people start using it.
Oh, by the way: https://imagemagick.org/script/formats.php
But, really, how frequently a normal user borks their system?
I've been using Linux for since 2004 and I can't remember the last time (if any) that I irrecoverably borked the system.
I use arch, mint and Fedora. Repositories in those three are solid.
Yes, immutable systems have their uses. Mostly entreprise uses but for home? Only out of curiosity.
I'm just learning about the software but all the tasks you listed (crop, rotate and adjust), can be done easily with imagemagick simple one-liners.
For example:
Convert in.jpg -rotate out.jpg
Or
Using the auto-orient option or using jhead.
Why is it so hard for this app to implement it?
You really think they'll understand?
They are incapable to read facts and statistics on how vaccines eliminated or reduced terrible illnesses.
They won't understand what you are saying.
Yep, we don't get to study the Nanjing masacre, for example unless we go out of our way to learn about it.
"Usually"
Sure.
But there are custoner managed keys which do exactly what I think it does.
Wow. I used to be a lead Enterprise architect for a large corporation. We had some clients who explicitly required, by contract, that the data should be hosted in Canada and only accessed by people in Canada. This included the department of National defense.
Microsoft complied by hosting instances in Canada and we went through hoops to ensure data remained in Canada.
This seems to uppend the game. However, all this information should already be encrypted. Whenever it isn't, I'm sure corporations are scrambling to fully encrypt (or de-host) data.
I mean, data (at rest and in transit) encryption has been available for other risk vectors. This seems to be no different. If Microsoft/Amazon/Oracle, etc had a backdoor to unencrypt the data, it would create a higher backslash.
For individual users, I don't think 99% of them care where their data is hosted.
Really? I guess everyone was 15 at some point and hadn't heard that distro wars are useless 🤣
There is no best. Period.
Once you implement Authentication/Authorization it's fairly simple to add a new function.
I think here, the problem is not the complexity of the task, but the developer's prioritization based on all the backlogged features.
Still, users can do this on their own. Directly on the folder, autorotating all pictures using wildcards.
