💖 SORT-PICTURES(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this is the sort-pictures manual page — it lives in the User Manuals section, and it's about to be your new fave little organizer. periodt. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

sort-pictures — sort pictures according to exif date 🗂️✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

sort-pictures

no args, no flags, no drama. she just goes. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea: sort-pictures uses the exif tags in jpeg pictures that were recovered by recoverjpeg in directories. and the way she organizes them? hard links. iconic behavior, honestly. 🔥

running sort-pictures will scan the current directory for files named after the template image?????*.jpg — that's image, followed by at least five characters, followed by .jpg. 🫶

and then, for every single one of those files, a new hardlink gets created inside one of these directories:

  • invalid — the picture is an invalid JFIF file. 💀 not her fault, she's just the messenger.
  • small — the picture size is less than 100,000 bytes. it's giving itty bitty. 🐣
  • undated — sort-pictures was unable to determine the date of the picture from the exif tags. no date?? no problem, she's still got a folder for that. 🙈
  • YYYY-MM-DD — a directory representing the date at which the picture was taken. this is the main character folder right here. 👑
