exifrename renames or copies files based on EXIF data.
cargo install exifrename
See --help
for more information on how to populate -f FORMAT
and other
available options. An example invocation is:
% exifrename --copy \
> -f "$HOME/Photos/{camera_make}/{year}{month}{day}_{hour}{minute}{second}" \
> /mnt/sdcard/*.jpg
/mnt/sdcard/P0001.jpg -> /home/cdown/Photos/FUJIFILM/20230126_184547_0.jpg
/mnt/sdcard/P0002.jpg -> /home/cdown/Photos/FUJIFILM/20230126_184547_1.jpg
/mnt/sdcard/P0003.jpg -> /home/cdown/Photos/FUJIFILM/20230126_184548_0.jpg
/mnt/sdcard/P0004.jpg -> /home/cdown/Photos/FUJIFILM/20230126_184548_1.jpg
/mnt/sdcard/P0005.jpg -> /home/cdown/Photos/FUJIFILM/20230126_184548_2.jpg
/mnt/sdcard/P0006.jpg -> /home/cdown/Photos/FUJIFILM/20230126_184548_3.jpg

exifrename has a strong focus on performance. On a sample modern laptop with a
mid-spec SSD, we take ~0.02 seconds to produce new names for over 5000 files
with the format {year}{month}{day}_{hour}{minute}{second}
.
