Description

Tidy MyPics is a small and simple script to sort photos base on EXIF information. This script will put picture files (JPG, TIFF CR2, etc) in a folder structure base on date /year/month/day/.

Usage

 Usage:
  tidy_mypics.py --source /my/messy/files --target /my/tidy/space


  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -s SOURCE_FOLDER, --source SOURCE_FOLDER
                        Folder with the messy collection of photos
  -t TARGET_FOLDER, --target TARGET_FOLDER
                        Folder with the tidy collection of photos
  -i FOLDERS TO IGNORE [FOLDERS TO IGNORE ...], --ignore_folder FOLDERS TO IGNORE [FOLDERS TO IGNORE ...]
                        List of folders to ignore
  -u HODGEPODGE, --unclassified HODGEPODGE
                        Folder to store photos without valid information to
                        properly classify
  -m {move, copy}, --how-move {move, copy}
                        By default tidy_mypics just copy the source files to a
                        new location using a timestamp folder structure. if you
                        want to move it instead, use copy argument
  -v, --verbose         Print details about what file tidy_mypics are moving
                        or copying
