magic-lantern --help .

You can provide a simple path to a collection of images, or you can supply a configuration file. See the example in tests.

Linux requirements

• click
• pygame
  • libsdl2-dev
  • python3-dev

Pygame

I had to install pygame to get the full image features.

To test if necessary, to this

python -c "import pygame;print(pygame.image.get_extended())"

If you get a failure, install per instructions:

#install dependencies
sudo apt-get install git python3-dev python3-setuptools python3-numpy python3-opengl \
    libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev libsmpeg-dev \
    libsdl1.2-dev libportmidi-dev libswscale-dev libavformat-dev libavcodec-dev \
    libtiff5-dev libx11-6 libx11-dev fluid-soundfont-gm timgm6mb-soundfont \
    xfonts-base xfonts-100dpi xfonts-75dpi xfonts-cyrillic fontconfig fonts-freefont-ttf libfreetype6-dev

# Grab source
git clone [e-mail]:pygame/pygame.git

# Finally build and install
cd pygame
python3 setup.py build
sudo python3 setup.py install

I also needed to install -U cython for the above to work. Your mileage may vary, depending on the state of the installed versions of these libraries.

Fixing images

Some notes on tweaking images if necessary.

ImageMagick

Fix photo orientation

mogrify -auto-orient *.jpg

Fix missing dates

e.g.: exiftool -datetimeoriginal="2009:08:08 00:00:00" -overwrite_original -m *
