Photo organizer

Place this script file in a folder full of pictures, run it, and it will organize the pictures into folders by the day they were taken.

Ruby Version:

Run:

$ ruby picsort.rb

Code:

# filename: picsort.rb
#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require 'fileutils'
require 'exifr'

def picDate(file)
  begin 
    ex = EXIFR::TIFF.new(file) || EXIFR::JPEG.new(file)
    (ex.date_time).strftime "%Y%m%d" if ex.exif?
  rescue
    File.mtime(file).strftime "%Y%m%d"
  end
end

def isPic?(file)
  [".JPG",".JPEG",".PNG",".AVI",".WAV",".NEF",".MOV",".TIFF"]
    .include? File.extname(file).upcase
end

print "Creating dirs"
Dir.foreach(".") do |f|
  dt = picDate f 
  Dir.mkdir dt and print '.' if isPic? f unless File.directory? dt
end

print "\nMoving pics"
Dir.foreach(".") do |f| 
  FileUtils.mv(f, picDate(f)+'/'+f) and print '.' if isPic? f
end
puts

    for tag, value in info.items():

        ret[decoded] = value
    return ret
