Entry Point

12. src/photo_tagger.py
    • from config import → from src.core.config import
    • from database import → from src.core.database import

    • from dashboard_gui import → from src.gui.dashboard_gui import
    • Removed imports for archived GUI files

Launcher Created

13. run_dashboard.py (NEW)
    • Created launcher script that adds project root to Python path
    • Initializes all required dependencies (DatabaseManager, FaceProcessor, etc.)
    • Properly instantiates and runs DashboardGUI

---

Running the Application

Method 1: Using Launcher (Recommended)

# Activate virtual environment
source venv/bin/activate

# Run dashboard
python run_dashboard.py

Method 2: Using Python Module

# Activate virtual environment
source venv/bin/activate

# Run as module
python -m src.gui.dashboard_gui

Method 3: CLI Tool

# Activate virtual environment
source venv/bin/activate

# Run CLI
python -m src.photo_tagger --help

Import Pattern Reference

Core Modules

from src.core.config import DEFAULT_DB_PATH, ...
from src.core.database import DatabaseManager
from src.core.face_processing import FaceProcessor
from src.core.photo_management import PhotoManager
from src.core.tag_management import TagManager
from src.core.search_stats import SearchStats

GUI Modules

Verification Steps

✅ Completed

• All core module imports updated
• All GUI module imports updated
• Entry point (photo_tagger.py) updated
• Launcher script created
• Dashboard tested and running

🔄 To Do

• Update test files (tests/*.py)
• Update demo scripts (demo.sh, run_deepface_gui.sh)
• Run full test suite
• Verify all panels work correctly
• Commit changes to git

Known Issues & Solutions

Issue: ModuleNotFoundError for 'src'

Solution: Use the launcher script run_dashboard.py which adds project root to path

Issue: ImportError for PIL.ImageTk

Solution: Make sure to use the virtual environment:

source venv/bin/activate
pip install Pillow

Issue: Relative imports not working

Solution: All imports now use absolute imports from src.

File Structure After Fix

src/
├── core/              # All core imports work ✅
├── gui/               # All GUI imports work ✅
└── utils/             # Utils imports work ✅

Project Root:
├── run_dashboard.py   # Launcher script ✅
└── src/               # Package with proper imports ✅

Next Steps

1. Test All Functionality

   source venv/bin/activate
   python run_dashboard.py
   

2. Update Test Files

   • Fix imports in tests/*.py
   • Run test suite

3. Update Scripts

   • Update demo.sh
   • Update run_deepface_gui.sh

4. Commit Changes

   git add .
   git commit -m "fix: update all import statements for new structure"
   git push
