roopurt18 Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I plan to look into this more deeply later in the week when I have the time, but if anyone knows off the bat it'd be a big help. My fiance is downloading photos off her Canon digital camera and they're all being saved in one folder with the current date and time. She'd like them organized according to the date and time they were taken. Is there a tool or shell script that will either pull the images off the camera and save them in sub-folders according to the time they were taken or batch rename them based on the metadata? I can write one myself later in the week if need be, but I'd prefer not to. I'm sure someone else has ran into this same problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 if your simply mounting the camera as an external drive and then using cp to copy them to anothger drive, you can simply use the -p option to preserve the timestamps. This would then make it alot easier to write your script using find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
