    • how can I search Person1 AND Person2

      I am still fairly new to Peakto. I am appreciating it a lot, as it really solves a handful of problems and seems very intelligent. In light of this, I am a little surprised it´s so hard to find out – as a rather experienced software / DB user – how to
    • Peakto vs Mylio

      I am wondering what Peakto offers that Mylio doesn't - the free version of Mylio seems to do a lot. Just wondering if anyone in the Peakto community has any advice. Thanks.
    • I upgraded a drive and the old one now has a red dot. Can I remove it?

      So I updated a drive with a larger SSD. Same drive name. Now I want to make sure Peakto can see it and process images. The old drive seems to also be present with a red dot (is that mean offline?) I tried to move it to the Trash CMD-Del, but it remains
    • BUG (Minor, non-blocking): "Loading..." Continuously displays on a Category -> View All Action

      I upgraded to Peakto 2.0.1 today (from 1.12). I decided to (re)run a deep analysis of my Lightroom catalogue to make sure all was up-to-date. Then my problems started when Peakto got to its "AI" analysis... (info: running on an M1 Max MacBook Pro with

    • Map view

      What is going on here? I have got no response on my ticket since two weeks. The problem is there still, a lot of processor usage, and many times Peakto hangs and I have to force quit it.

    • Q: Compute Missing AI Scores VS. Run Image AI Analysis vs Smart Re-ingest

    • Conversational search

      Yesterday I was searching Peakto for images from Fukuyama, the Japanese city, and I noticed that when choosing "Conversational search", I got 383 results, all of them, except for one, unrelated to the city (and I don't have any photos of Francis Fukuyama).
    • Peakto's search function

      I find it inconvenient that it isn't possible to just type a word or phrase in the search field and then press enter. It would be useful if there was a way of specifying a default setting for the search function so that you didn't have to scroll through
