Already have code for writing to a CSV. Already have the data stored. Need to finish code for converting data to CSV-friendly format.

If you cull a picture in the first round, it will be ignored when sorting in the second round (as it should). But when hitting the back button, it will not be ignored.

When you click the "choose folder" button, a dialog opens to allow you to choose a folder of images.

The dialog currently defaults to current User's "Photos" folder. It should instead default to folder above the last folder you selected. If that's not possible, it should instead default to the directory were the app is being run.

Example:
If the last folder selected was:
"E://2023/CameraTraps/Camera_B4"
The dialogue should open at:
"E://2023/CameraTraps"

If this is the first time the folder was selected:
Choose the folder where the WildSort application is located

If the last folder selected was:
"E://2023/CameraTraps/Camera_B4"
BUT, "E://" was unmounted, and the filepath is no longer valid:
Choose the folder where the WildSort application is located

When a picture should be showed, it is not showing. Probably has to do with Windows filesystem and the url.

file:///Users/cael/photos -> /Users/cael/photos

file:///C://Users/cael/photos -> C://Users/cael/photos

This must be a common issue. Surely other people on the internet have run into this. There's probably a better solution than testing for what the operating system is.

When writing to the ALL_DATA spreadsheet, if it does not exist, WildSort creates it. You can find this in ReportBuilder.py

The first line of the spreadsheet should say something along the lines of "This file should not be edited. If you want to access the data, use [Save As] to create a copy."

I recommend creating a file (JSON?) in the app's directory that stores the categories, if such a file does not exist. Then the app will load the categories from that file.

If a user wants to edit the categories, they can run the app once, then edit the resulting file, and restart the app.

There may be a more elegant/better overall solution. Should do some research on the Python build process.

• Need to gather photos for each category
• Need to make sure the photos include plenty of bad angles (butt shots, half obscured, behind a bush, etc.) Maybe check r/photographyfails or something?
• Need to set up the correct files structure.
• Need to train an AI on the photos
• Need to test running them on photos and getting bounding boxes

Currently, a spreadsheet report is created in the folder where the photos are pulled from. If a report already exists there, the existing report is renamed to a hidden "/.backup_transactData.csv" file.

We want to also create a report in the folder where WildSort is run, called "allTransactData_DO_NOT_EDIT.csv", if it does not already exist. If the file already exists, we want to append the data rows onto the end of the file.

The idea is that the file will act as a "central database" that does not require any experience with databases.
