Python scripts to manage WhatsApp media backups for archival purposes.
Usage
Installation
pip install whatsapp_media_tools
Restoring exif dates
usage: restore-exif [-h] [-r] [-m] [-v] path
Restore discarded Exif date information in WhatsApp media based on the filename. For videos, only the created and modified dates are set.
positional arguments:
path Path to WhatsApp media folder
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-r, --recursive Recursively process media
-m, --mod Set file created/modified date on top of exif for images
-v, --version show program's version number and exit
Finding duplicate media files
usage: find-duplicates [-h] [-c CHUNK_SIZE] [-f] [-r] [--dry-run] [-v] path
Remove duplicated media, preserving the file with the shortest filename or earliest date encoded in the filename.
positional arguments:
path Path to WhatsApp media folder
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-c CHUNK_SIZE, --chunk-size CHUNK_SIZE
Chunk size for heuristic, smaller values are generally faster but if many files have identical starting chunks, performance degrades as more full hashes are computed
-f, --force Delete duplicates without prompting
-r, --recursive Recursively process media
--dry-run Dry run deletion (no files deleted)
-v, --version show program's version number and exit
