cullen-cli

Applies photo culling decisions made in the Cullen iOS app to the source files on disk.

Install

pipx install cullen   # command
pip install cullen    # library: from cullen import DecisionsFile, load

Commands

cullen cull [PATHS...] [--file culled.json]   # sort sources into category folders
cullen flop PATH [FILE] [--dry-run]           # move category folders back up
cullen relocate [PATHS...] [--root ROOT]      # find exported decision files and put them into their photosets

relocate takes folders and files (default: the current folder), looks for decision files among them, and walks ROOT (default: /, skipping system and hidden folders) for photosets with a cullen/ folder inside.

culled.json

The contract between the app and the CLI. Lives in the photoset root.

Categories are arbitrary keys; values are file stems. Every file whose stem is listed moves into the folder named after its category, next to where it was found.
