Hi all, I'm loving shotwell, just wondering if there are any existing feature requests for re-organising the files after importing them. Like you have the option to choose the layout of the files you import yyyy/mm/dd etc. What about an option to go through the files in your library and move them into new folders e.g yyyy/mm/dd (jpeg picture date or event date) or something like that.
It would be nice to clear out the thousand random folders I have with my old collection of photos and have them organised on the hdd not just in the program. I've read about using jhead to move jpegs to new folders based on the jpeg date, but it's a bit manual and something I thought would be a very handy feature in shotwell instead. Also it doesn't work for avi's and other non jpegs. Shouldn't be too hard to code I think, one the of main issues would be to handle file name confilcts e.g if you have /event1/photo1.jpg and /event2/photo1.jpg and they are different photos then one would need to be renamed if they go put into the same folder. Jhead already has some logic for doing this (see jhead -n option man page) *If the target name already exists, the name will be appended with "a", "b", "c", etc, unless the name ends with a letter, in which case it * *will be appended with "0", "1", "2", etc.* * * Interested in your thoughts, thanks, Joel _______________________________________________ Shotwell mailing list [email protected] http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell
