💖 exif_loader — the vibe ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to exif_loader, part of the exif_loader(1) manual. she's a tool for uploading JPEG/EXIF photos into a DB. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly. 👑

🌸 NAME 🌸

exif_loader — upload JPEG/EXIF photos into a DB 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

exif_loader [-h] [-d pathname] [-D dir_path | -f file_name] [--any-exif
            | --gps-exif-only] [--metadata | --no-metadata]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so like. exif_loader is a tool for uploading JPEG/EXIF photos into a DB, and the way that it does this is by preserving full Exif metadata and building Geometry from GPS tags — if they're present, like, if your photo actually has them. no GPS tags? no Geometry, no drama, she moves on. 💅

she keeps everything. all the metadata. all the vibes. periodt.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -h, --help — prints the help message. the classic. when in doubt, ask her. 🌈
  • -d pathname, --db-path pathname — this is the SpatiaLite db path. where your database lives. tell her where it's at and she'll go there. 🗺️
  • -D dir_path, --dir dir_path — the DIR path containing EXIF files. a whole folder of them. she'll take the whole folder, she's not shy. 🎀
  • -f file_name, --file-path file_name — a single EXIF file. just one. one little guy. her one and only. 🥺
  • --any-exif — don't limit to GPS only EXIF tags. this is the default, bestie, so you're already living this life unless you say otherwise. 🔥
  • --gps-exif-only — only load GPS EXIF tags. nada más. nothing but coordinates. if it's not GPS, she's not interested. 💀
  • --metadata — also load EXIF meta data. the default! the metadata stays, it's iconic, it's staying. 👑
  • --no-metadata — don't load any EXIF meta data. like, any of it. zero. none. she's on a cleanse. 🍓
heads up bestie: -D and -f are an either/or situation (dir_path or file_name), and so are --any-exif/--gps-exif-only plus --metadata/--no-metadata. pick a lane. 🫶
