This can be used to reorganise photos into directories by date.
This is a command line utility to copy or move files from one location to another location using the metadata in the files to order them into logical directories.
reloci current/path/to/files path/to/destination
To see all options use
reloci --help
Currently the files will be ordered based on the creation date of the
files. Use the dryrun option to check if the planned move/copy matches
your expectations.
Specifically for time-lapse shooting there is a command to group photos
from the same sequence, based on a consistent interval between subsequent
photos. Use the group option to immediately group the found sequences in
directories.
check_interval --pattern "APL_*.NEF" --group
Additionally, there is a command to view all relevant EXIF tags from a single file, and how they are interpreted by the FileInfo class.
reloci_info path/to/a/file.jpg
