Hello/Hi/Greetings,

I am using the Piwigo Import Tree script and it is working fine. The only problem I have is, that it only adds new albums/pictures, but does not update changed pictures, nor deletes  them if they do not exist any more.

Maybe I am using it in the wrong way. What I try to achieve is this:
I have some IP cameras, that take pictures, which I store in a folder structure. The pictures are stored in a round robin way (new pictures are added up to a max number, then the oldest will be deleted). I then import the pictures to piwigo using the script.  The script will add the pictures, but once they had been added, they won't be updated. Since the names of the pictures in the folder structure remains the same, the script will not update them even if the pictures change.

Is there a way to force the import, or look at the meta data to decide if the pictures should be updated or not? This seems to be possible in the web interface where you can check "Synchronize metadata"

Thanks,
piwigoer
