sort ios images

The cli app sort-ios-images takes an input directory and detects all images or videos which were taken with your own iPhone. All detected items get copied to a output directory. All other files get copied into a 'nomatch' directory. Folder structure of input directory will be preserved. Cross-plattform. Written in Rust.

CLI usage

# Sort your images from `input` directory and copy them into `output` directory
sort-ios-images ~/ferris/images/ios-imported ~/ferris/images/ios-sorted

# Sort your images from `input` directory and move them into `output` directory -- really fast
sort-ios-images --move-files ~/ferris/images/ios-imported ~/ferris/images/ios-sorted

All available flags:

USAGE:
    sort-ios-images [FLAGS] <input> <output>

FLAGS:
    -h, --help          Prints help information
    -m, --move-files    Move sorted files instead of copying them
    -V, --version       Prints version information

Output Layout

After running sort-ios-images your output directory will contain two directories: match and nomatch

• match contains all images or videos which were taken with your iPhone.
• nomatch contains everything else, like movies or images received via messengers or saved items

Given ~/ferris/images/ios-imported as input directory:

~/ferris/images/ios-imported/2019-02/IMG_3433.JPEG # you shot this
~/ferris/images/ios-imported/2019-02/IMG_3434.JPEG # you shot this
~/ferris/images/ios-imported/2019-02/IMG_3435.JPEG # you shot this
~/ferris/images/ios-imported/2019-02/LOHG2296.JPG  # you got this
~/ferris/images/ios-imported/2018-11/IMG_2155.JPEG # you shot this
~/ferris/images/ios-imported/2018-11/IMG_2156.MOV  # you shot this
~/ferris/images/ios-imported/2018-11/IMG_2157.JPEG # you shot this
~/ferris/images/ios-imported/2018-11/MYRR9748.JPG  # you got this

sort-ios-images will produce this layout in ~/ferris/images/ios-sorted output directory:

~/ferris/images/ios-sorted/match/2019-02/IMG_3433.JPEG # you shot this
~/ferris/images/ios-sorted/match/2019-02/IMG_3434.JPEG # you shot this
~/ferris/images/ios-sorted/match/2019-02/IMG_3435.JPEG # you shot this
~/ferris/images/ios-sorted/match/2018-11/IMG_2155.JPEG # you shot this
~/ferris/images/ios-sorted/match/2018-11/IMG_2156.MOV  # you shot this
~/ferris/images/ios-sorted/match/2018-11/IMG_2157.JPEG # you shot this

~/ferris/images/ios-sorted/nomatch/2019-02/LOHG2296.JPG  # you got this
~/ferris/images/ios-sorted/nomatch/2018-11/MYRR9748.JPG  # you got this
