unload and file photos from a camera.. . digital of course
the use of this script is to copy (or move) photos from a camera (mounted as a regular mass storage device) to a folder filing system organised by date.. . (each photo gets a folder with it's date).. . . you will need for this to work exiv2 so do install this before using the script.
what this should do
- go into the folder where the photos arrive, normally this would be on the camera itself however you can actually use this script to reorganize already taken photos of course.
- execute the script "photo_save.sh"
this idea of this script is :
- for each photo taken (including in child folders (although there is an option for this)
- figure out the date when the picture was taken through EXIF
- create a folder with the date and put the photo in it
the script will :
configuration options
a resumé of the available options :
- UNLOAD : this is where you determine the base folder where things will go
- METHOD : here you can decide if you want the script to be recursif or not
- EXTENSIONS : depending on the method you chose the syntax will change, use the examples to suit to your taste (and needs)
i personally use a copy of the script for each camera, so i rename the script to photo-save-d50.sh for my "D50".. .. .. of course here you do what you want obviously...
the script
you can download the script with this link or copy paste it from below . .. .. .
#!/bin/bash
# script designed to help unload photos from camera/cd/or_whatever
# to folders ordered by date based on EXIF info.
# USAGE: cd /to/the/folder/where/the/files/are
# sh photo-save.sh
# DEPENDS on: exiv2
# HINTS: if you have multiple cameras you can:
# - copy this script accordingly: ex. cp photo-save.sh photo-save-d50.sh
# - make sure that UNLOAD parameter is set: ex. /home/user/unload/d50/
# - now use photo-save-d50.sh instead of photo-save.sh
# - repeat the same for as many cameras you need to..
# if you didn't already know, you can chmod +x photo-save.sh and copy it
# to a "bin" folder (ex /usr/local/bin/)
