[digiKam-users] Organize messy album

[Phil]

In case you don't already know, you can do very flexible operations 
including complete renaming and reorganisation of your image files and 
directories using exiftool: https://www.exiftool.org

It can take some time to work out the right syntax to use. One reference 
which has helped me when I've had to do this is: 
https://ninedegreesbelow.com/photography/exiftool-commands.html

There are lots of other web pages which give exiftool examples, 
including the exiftool site itself.

It's probably a good idea to experiment on a copy of small selection of 
your photos first. And as usual be really sure to have have really good 
backups :)
