theorangeone/date-group repository overview

⁠Date Group

Group a directory of files.

Dates are determined through multiple sources:

• EXIF metadata
• Date in filename

⁠Installation

Downloads can be found under releases⁠. Alternatively, use the provided Docker container⁠.

⁠Build yourself

Clone the project, and use cargo build --release to create the binary at target/release/date-group.

⁠Usage

The only required argument is the source. The source is 1 or more directory of images you want to group. Grouping will be done relative to this source.

--verbose can be used to see the list of files moved, and the ones which were unable to be parsed.

--dry-run can be used to perform all the parsing operations, but without moving files.

--format will let you specify how files will be grouped. This defaults to %Y/%B (eg 2020/May).

--delete-redundant-source will delete the source file if the destination a file is meant to be moved to already exists, to ensure things remain clean.
