# Name: EXIFmover.py | |
# Author: Brian Klug (@nerdtalker / brian@brianklug.org) | |
# Purpose: | |
# Move Files into directory based on EXIF data make and model | |
# Designed to un-clusterfuck the Dropbox camera upload directory which is a mess of every | |
# JPEG and PNG ever if you use it like I do on a bunch of phones, and thus totally unwieldy | |
# and full of images sorted by date or else nothing sometimes, dropbox seems nondeterminstic | |
# Moves files into /[Image Make]+[Image Model]/ eg /Camera Uploads/LGE Nexus 4/ | |
# Creates directory if it doesn't exist, moves into that directory if it exists | |
# Files without EXIF get moved into /nomake nomodel (EG screenshots / nonsense) except exifmover/exif.py | |
# This is experimental and one-way in a destructive sense, I take no responsibility | |
# if this absolutely destroys your directory structure for some reason | |
# I STRONGLY recommend making a copy of Camera Uploads, then running this on the copy, first | |
# Requires EXIF-PY to be installed and importable | |
# EXIF-PY can be obtained from https://github.com/ianare/exif-py | |
# Previous implementation used EXIF.py standalone, updated to work with installable version | |
# Run simply (eg from ipython "run exifmover.py" inside "Camera Upload") | |
# Tested on OS 10.8.2 and Python 2.7.3 EPD | |
# Tested on Windows XP and Python 2.7.3 EPD | |
# Tested on Ubuntu 11.10 | |

Worked well for me. Thank you for sharing this. Your documentation is really great.
Works great! Thank you! 👍

You need to sanitize the 'Image Make' and 'Image Model' tags - I for instance have images with exif data where model="SAMSUNG ST65 / VLUU ST65 / SAMSUNG ST67". The forward slashes cause os.mkdir() to die (under linux at least).
