photOrganize helps you to copy and organize your photos to folders correctly date-named
#What is it ?
photOrganize is a simple command line utility that copies photos contained in a source folder into a set of folders date-named.
Example:
$ ruby photorganize.rb '/media/XXXX-YYYY/DCIM/100CANON' ~/photos
That command copies all the photos in '/media/XXXX-YYYY/DCIM/100CANON' (my PhotoCamera's folder), into sub-folders date-named created inside the folder '~/photos':
$ ls ~/photos
2011-12-29 2012-05-13 2012-05-18 2012-06-19 2012-07-08 2012-09-13
Easy :)
#How it works
Before to copy each photo, the creation date is read from the photo, and then a new folder named year-month-day (yyyy-mm-dd) is created and the file copied.
Note: that photOrganize gets the creation date inside the photo, not from the file system, that's important, so you can use it to organize photos that you already moved/copied on other folders.
#Dependencies photOrganize uses mini_exiftool to read the creation date.
To install it: $ gem install mini_exiftool
Organize you photos, and take care of them!
