What is there to update Maik?, it see's all the 8000+ images on that 
raid10 now.  That raid10 is mounted at bootup in fstab on top of the 
nearly empty /home partition of the install disk by the UUID of that 
partition on the raid, which actually has 3 partitions on it as I made a 
1.8T first partition, a 100Gb swap. leaves about 90g left as the 3rd 
partition which is not used.  Tell me exactly what to do, click by 
click. And I'll do it.  I think I did do it to one subdir I've been 
using as a tmp, no effect if I did it right. Or should I have done it tp 
Pictures, the root of all that, or a separate dir called Photos?

Current version is the AppImage 8.2.0 from the July 24th build.
