[Digikam-users] Moving files outside digikam / digikam automation

[Leo Noordhuizen]

I use the following shell script to move pictures from 'some' location
(mostly the memory card) into their directories AND to a backup directory.
(NB: this is a very basic script which could use some errorchecking, but
until now it has been working great.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash

# Copy binary image files from current directory to backup directory and
# move the binary image files to the new tree
# The directorystructure and filename is based on the date the original
# picture was taken and has the following format:
# <backupdirectory>/YYYY/YYMM/YYYYMMDD/YYYYMMDD_<original name>
#  and
# <picturedirectory>/YYYY/YYMM/YYYYMMDD/YYYYMMDD_<original name>
#

# Copy *.JPG & *.CR2 files from current directory to backup
exiftool -o /media/U2-2/InputBackup/ '-FileName<DateTimeOriginal' \
      -d /media/U2-2/InputBackup/%Y/%Y%m/%Y%m%d/%Y%m%d_%%f.%%e .


# Move *.JPG en *.CR2 files from current naar AAAA_Input directory
exiftool '-FileName<DateTimeOriginal' \
      -d
/home/lcn/Pictures/Pictures/AAAA_Inbox/%Y/%Y%m/%Y%m%d/%Y%m%d_%%f.%%e .
