NAME

       import-pictures - copy/move pictures from a directory


SYNOPSIS

       import-pictures [options]


DESCRIPTION

       import-pictures copies or moves pictures from one directory (for
       example from a mounted camera) to another directory. You can choose
       date ranges from within to copy the images. For example you can just
       choose the pictures from one day of the event in one directory and
       after that you can move the other day into another directory.

       -m, --move
           Move pictures instead of copying

       -x, --exif
           Use exif metadata as data instead of creation date of the file

       -f, --filetypes "filetypes" (default: jpg,nef)
           Comma separated list of file extensions to work on (default jpg and
           nef)

       -o, --origin "origindir"
           From which directory pictures should be copied.

       -t, --to "targetdir"
           Where to copy the pictures to. If targetdir does not exist it will
           be created.

       -s, --start-date "date"
           From which date images should get copied. You can use relative
           dates as used in the date command.

       -e, --end-date "date"

           dates as used in the date command.

       -T, --template "templatestring"
           You can rename files according to a simple template string.
           Currently the following template strings are supported:

           _COUNTER_
               This is a counter which gets incremented for every picture

           _DAY_, _MONTH_, _YEAR, _HOUR_, _MINUTE_, _SEC_
               Will be replaced by the according date strings.

           NOTE: Don't add a file extension the templat or you will end with
           doubled extensions.

           For example 'foobar-_YEAR__MONTH__DAY_-_COUNTER_' results in
           filenames like foobar-20060916-44.nef


EXAMPLES

       Copy the pictures from the last week up to now based on their exif tag
       and rename them to last_week-YearMonthDay-Counter.suffix

         % import-pictures --exif --start-date 'one week ago' --origin /mnt/cam/DCIM/
           --to Bilder/Last_Week --template 'last_week-_YEAR__MONTH__DAY_-_COUNTER_'
