Features

• Organize photos and videos in a folder structure based off creation dates.

  • User provides target folder of unorganized images. Will move photos to a default photos directory in the directory where the binary was ran. The outputed folders will be the respective creation dates on the media.

• Allow configurable destination folder.

  • Use the --dest flag.

Dependencies

• C++ build tools (or equivalent like build-essentials) (for ffmpeg-next package)

CLI usage

To quickly organize photos in the target folder, run the following command to output them into the default destination directory.

photo_organizer --target test-media

To add a destination folder for all the organized photos, add the --dest <DEST_FOLDER> flag to the end.

While developing with cargo, forward the flags.

cargo run -- --target test-photos
