I highly recommend storing batch/bash scripts of your favorite `etiquette_cli` invocations, so that you can quickly sync the database with the state of the disk in the future. Here are some suggestions for what you might like to include in such a script: I highly recommend storing batch/bash scripts of your favorite `etiquette_cli` invocations, so that you can quickly sync the database with the state of the disk in the future. Here are some suggestions for what you might like to include in such a script:
- `digest`: Storing all your digest invocations in a single file makes ingesting new files very easy. For your digests, I recommend including `--ratelimit` to stop Photos from having the exact same created timestamp, and `--hash-bytes-per-second` to reduce IO load. In addition, you don't want to forget your favorite `--glob-filenames` patterns. - `digest`: Storing all your digest invocations in a single file makes ingesting new files very easy.

- `reload-metadata`: In order for Etiquette's hash-based rename detection to work properly, the file hashes need to be up to date. If you're using Etiquette to track files which are being modified, you may want to get in the habit of reloading metadata regularly. By default, this will only reload metadata for files whose mtime and/or byte size have changed, so it should not be very expensive.

- `purge-deleted-files` & `purge-empty-albums`: You should only do this after a `digest`, because if a file has been moved / renamed you want the digest to pick up on that before purging it as a dead filepath. The Photo purge should come first, so that an album containing entirely deleted photos will be empty when it comes time for the Album purge. - `purge-deleted-files` & `purge-empty-albums`: You should only do this after a `digest`, because if a file has been moved / renamed you want the digest to pick up on that before purging it as a dead filepath.
