PhotoSort simplifies your photo inbox, it watches for a set of photo input directories, to catalog and move into a predefined storage, it can delete the input or keep it.
It does take care of duplicate files, if there is a duplicate in a it will be moved to the duplicates directory
pip3 install photosortPhotoSort depends on exiftool, please install exiftool in your system.
git clone https://github.com/mangelajo/photosort
cd photosort
sudo python3 setup.py install
Create a config file in /etc/photosort.yml or anywhere else and use the --config parameter.
Then run:
photosort rebuilddb # only for the first time
photosort sync # to sync new files in
or
photosort monitor # to keep it running and watching for new files
It's a plain textfile for now, I want to be able to remove or edit entries by hand if needed, at least on early stages of the project.
In the future this must be an sqlite file.
photosort depends on exiftool to identify the original creation
time of videos or pictures.
Configuration is stored in YAML format
Don't create the field 'file_prefix' if no change is desired in the filename of the media items.
This is an example file:
sources:
dropbox:
dir: '/Users/ajo/Dropbox/Camera Uploads'
nasinbox:
dir: '/mnt/nas/Pictures/inbox'
output:
dir: '/mnt/nas/Pictures'
dir_pattern: "%(year)d/%(year)04d_%(month)02d_%(day)02d"
file_prefix: "%(year)d%(month)02d%(day)02d%(hour)02d%(minute)02d%(second)02d_"
duplicates_dir: 'duplicates'
chmod: 0o774
log_file: 'photosort.log'
db_file: 'photosort.db'
- Support for python 3.12, fixed missing files in tests
- PIL image library has been replaced for exiftool so datetime from videos can be obtained too.
- Files with no creation datetime EXIF or tags are ignored for now.
