pic_sort

This repo contains a simple python script to find and sort various of pictures.

Each picture/image found is sha512 hashed before it is copied/moved to the destination. Only one copy of each file is saved, so a file based deduplication is performed.

The pictures are sorted by following aspects:

• date - extracted from exif data (fallback to modification time when no exif data available)
• author - extracted from exif data
• camera model - determined from various exif data
• location
  • creates following directory tree: <country code>/<area>/<closer area>/<city>
  • for each level of the tree a directory named _all_ is created contains all images/pictures from this area
  • determined by the location from exif data if possible
  • fallback to parsed gpx files and determine approximated location by time matching

For all aspects/categories a directory named _unknown_ is created contains all remaining files.

Usage

For a help message simply run ./pic_sort.py -h.
