v1.0.0 — Initial public release

First public release of LocateIt — geotag photo albums on an interactive map.

Download & run

  1. Download Source code (zip) or Source code (tar.gz) below.
  2. Extract the archive.
  3. Windows: double-click run-desktop.bat (recommended) or run.bat.
  4. macOS / Linux: chmod +x run-desktop.sh run.sh, then ./run-desktop.sh or ./run.sh.

Requires Python 3.10+. See README.md for full setup and troubleshooting.

Highlights

  • Open album from a native file dialog (desktop mode) or browser folder picker
  • Cluster map — photos with GPS grouped by location (5 m default radius)
  • Manual geotagging — drag ungeotagged photos from the sidebar onto the map
  • Save to originals — write GPS into JPEG and RAW files (desktop mode; browser mode on Chrome/Edge)
  • Lightbox viewer with film strip for cluster and pending-photo preview
  • Map search — jump to a place, then place pins precisely
  • Restore album — reopen last folder in desktop mode

Desktop mode (run-desktop.bat)

  • Native Open File → loads the photo’s parent folder (RAWviewer-style)
  • No browser File System Access API or second folder dialog
  • Server-side path geotag for JPEG & RAW
  • Settings stored under %LOCALAPPDATA%\LocateIt

Browser mode (run.bat)

  • Runs at http://127.0.0.1:8765/
  • File System Access API for writable albums (Chrome / Edge)
  • Read-only folder preview via run.bat "D:\Photos\..."

Map & gallery UX

  • Combined cluster pin with photo count inside the pin
  • Pointer-based drag to map (cursor = drop location; faded thumbnail follows the pointer)
  • Orange placement pins for pending photos; drag to reposition or back to sidebar to unpin
  • Themed Save confirmation dialog (LocateIt branding)
  • Reduced cluster hover hit area so nearby pins remain easy to drag

Platforms

  • Windows: run-desktop.bat, run.bat, stop.bat
  • macOS / Linux: run-desktop.sh, run.sh, stop.sh

Known limitations

  • Map tiles require internet (OpenStreetMap)
  • Browser mode saving requires Chrome or Edge and folder permission
  • RAW geotag needs Exiv2 available to the Python process
  • Only one server instance per port (8765) — launchers auto-stop the previous instance; use stop.bat / stop.sh if the port is still stuck
