Edit: I had a long day and I read your comment wrong I think. I realize you were probably adding onto my comment rather than suggesting steps I take. I apologize for coming in hot like that, it’s my bad. I’ve left the original comment below. Again, sorry.

Orginal comment: Thanks for the suggestion! I haven’t thought to open a seperate piece of software to manage my photos, instead of using the software I’m using to manage my photos.

I was just asking for a quality of life feature.

It’s been available… “Kind of”

It creates a copy of your photo and rotates that. Leaving the original. Which I guess I can see being useful sometimes but it’s very annoying in practice last I checked it.

Have they added the ability to rotate your photos yet?

I believe ZFS fits your needs. Using ZFS with TrueNAS I can verify it supports transparent compression. It’s supposed to be very stable against data corruption. The only thing I can say about data corruption is in my 10+ years of using it, I haven’t had any issues.

I think our timeline got thrown out of wack when the Muppets TV show that was basically 30 Rock got axed. That show was funny as heck and I’m still mad they cancelled it.
