photo_sort-0.1.0 has been yanked.

PhotoSort

PhotoSort is a robust command-line tool written in Rust, designed to streamline the organization of your photo collections. It works by sourcing images from a source directory, extracting the date from either the file name or its EXIF data, and then moving or copying the file to a target directory.

Features

Custom Target Format: You can define your own target date and file name formats for the renamed files.
Analysis Mode: Choose how you want to extract the date from your files. Only EXIF, only name, or a combination.
Move Mode: Choose how you want to move the files to the target directory. Options are moving, coping, hardlinking, symlinking, or relative symlinking.
Recursive Source Directory: PhotoSort can search the source directories recursively.
Dry Run Mode: Test the tool without making any changes to your files. The tool will print the actions it would take without actually executing them.

Usage

To use PhotoSort, you need to pass in a set of arguments to define how you want to sort your photos. Here is an example:

photo_sort --source_dir /path/to/photos --target_dir /path/to/sorted_photos

This command will sort the photos in the /path/to/photos directory, rename them based on their EXIF data or name and then move them to the /path/to/sorted_photos directory.

Another example:

photo_sort
  --source_dir /path/to/photos --recursive
  --target_dir /path/to/sorted_photos
  --analysis-mode "exif_then_name"
  --date-format "%Y-%m-%d-_%H%M%S"
  --file-format "{:date}{:?dup}"
  --extensions "png,jpg"
  --move-mode "hardlink"

This command will sort the photos in the /path/to/photos directory and its subdirectories, rename them based on their EXIF date (if not found then its name) and then hardlink them to the /path/to/sorted_photos directory. The files will be renamed to the format YYYY-MM-DD_HHMMSS[_##], only .png and .jpg files will be processed.

For a full list of available options, run photo_sort --help.
