SCRIPTS

import-media.rb

Imports photos and videos.

  • Imports media (photos & Videos) to Year/Month/Date directory structure in the target location, according to the media's meta-data (EXIF tags)
  • Only imports media with proper meta-data tags. Skips otherwise.
  • Works fine for JPEG Photos, AVI and QuickTime Videos (MOV, M4V, M2V, MP4, 3GP, 3G2)
  • No Overwriting: Skips media if there's a duplicate based on the checksum of file content (SHA256). Also if a file with same name exists, and if it is not duplicate, different name will be used while importing.
  • Writes a neat log at target location everytime this script is invoked.
  • Requires ruby
  • Tested on only on Linux. It won't work on Windows (work in progress); not tested on Mac (expected to work without any problem).

Dependencies

  • mini_exiftool gem (depends on exiftool library)
  • mimemagic gem
  • docopt gem
  • memoist gem

Usage

ruby import-media.rb [-cp | -mv] source-directory target-directory

Here is the --help output:

Usage:
  import-media.rb <source_path> <target_path>
  import-media.rb [(--copy | -cp) | (--move | -mv)] <source_path> <target_path>
