Exiftool

·1 min

Check Exif data on an image:

~/Image-ExifTool-12.40/exiftool -a -G1 -s -time:all filename

The following command sorts by year, month, date and camera model name, in that order.

  • Use -o . to move the data to some other directory. Without that, sorting happens in the directory specified at the end of the command (i.e. . below).
  • The -Filename pseudo tag helps you rename the files. (I haven’t done that myself though.)
~/Image-ExifTool-12.40/exiftool -r -P \
    '-Directory<$filemodifydate/Others' \
    '-Directory<$createdate/Others' \
    '-Directory<$datetimeoriginal/Others' \
    '-Directory<$filemodifydate/${model;}' \
    '-Directory<$createdate/${model;}' \
    '-Directory<$datetimeoriginal/${model;}' \
    -d '%Y/%m-%B/%d' .
