phototrie 0.1.0

Tools for sorting photos

phototrie (and other helper scripts)

Phototrie is a minimalistic application for quickly sorting through your photographs.

This repository also includes batchrename and datename, two commands useful for organising photographs.

Usage

phototrie

Run phototrie JPG in a directory where you have unsorted JPG photos.

CR2 photos in the same directory, or in a CR2/ subdirectory, with the same name will also be processed.

Wait a short while for thumbnails to be generated. Once this has completed, a window will pop up, showing your photos.

Press B to mark a photo as bad, G for good and P for pristine (future versions may allow custom names).

Phototrie will move them into directories with those labels as you go along.

datename

datename photo1.jpg photo2.jpg (etc)

e.g. datename *.JPG to process all JPG files in a directory.

This will rename photos to have their date (as stored in EXIF) as their name.

CR2 photos in the same directory, or in a CR2/ subdirectory, with the same name will also be processed.

Once you are ready to apply the changes for real, pass --apply (or -y).

batchrename

batchrename <regex> <replacement> photo1.jpg photo2.jpg (etc)

e.g. batchrename .JPG$ .jpg *.JPG

Once you are ready to apply the changes for real, pass --apply (or -y).
