YYYY: Year as in '2023'
MM: Month as in '01' for January
DD: Day as in '02' for second day in the month

Usage

Copy from one directory to another

imgtrf copy {source/directory} {destination/directory}

Move from one directory to another

imgtrf move {source/directory} {destination/directory}

Change 'depth' of destination folder structure

imgtrf copy --date-level=month {source/directory} {destination/directory}

Installation

Installation is done via PyPI

pip install image-transfer

To support gathering metadata from videos you need to have FFmpeg installed and added to your PATH environment variable. FFmpeg can either be installed from their site ffmpeg.org or via winget

winget install --id Gyan.FFmpeg

or if on linux

sudo apt install ffmpeg

Make sure to check your environment variables. Some times even a restart of your computer is necessary for them to be read in properly.
