Media scripts

This repository contains scripts for dealing with medias (extract and rename videos and pictures, replace duplicates by hard links...):

create-hardlinks.sh

This script find duplicates in a directory and make them to use the same inode.
If originals and duplicates are in different folders, specify them as path1 and path2 for improving performance.

Usage

$ ./create-hardlinks.sh path1 [path2]

extract-photos.sh

This script allows to retrieve photos and videos from a library and organize them in folders date.

Requirements

• exiftool (http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/index.html)

Usage

• Organize medias by date into a target folder

$ ./extract-photos.sh /path/to/my/library /path/where/photos/will/be/copied

• Organize all medias where date greater or equal than 12th May 2016

$ ./extract-photos.sh -d 2016-05-12 /path/to/my/library /path/where/photos/will/be/copied

extract-videos.sh

This script allows to retrieve videos from a library and organize them into folders by date.

Requirements

• exiftool (http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/index.html)

Usage

• Organize videos by date into a target folder

$ ./extract-videos.sh /path/to/my/library /path/where/videos/will/be/copied

random-photos.sh

/!\ This script is deprecated and not maintained anymore.
Use https://github.com/l-vo/photos-picker instead.

This script allows to retrieve random photos from a library. It gives a priority to later photos.

Requirements

These requirement are only needed if you use autorotate option (-a, see below).

• jhead (http://www.sentex.net/~mwandel/jhead/)
• jpegtran (http://jpegclub.org/jpegtran/)

Usage

• Retrieve 200 photos (default value) from a library

$ ./random-photos.sh /path/to/my/library /path/where/photos/will/be/copied

• Retrieve 300 photos

$ ./random-photos.sh -c 300 /path/to/my/library /path/where/photos/will/be/copied

• Pick later photos (default value for the -r option is 40)

$ ./random-photos.sh -r 10 /path/to/my/library /path/where/photos/will/be/copied

• Pick older photos

$ ./random-photos.sh -r 90 /path/to/my/library /path/where/photos/will/be/copied

• Activate autorotate feature (needs jhead and jpegtran)

$ ./random-photos.sh -a /path/to/my/library /path/where/photos/will/be/copied

remove-duplicates.sh

This script allows to remove duplicate files. A duplicate file is localized by a specific pattern before extension. These patterns are " ([0-9])" and "_[0-9]".
A supposed duplicate is deleted only if an assumed original is found in the same directory with the same prefix and the same checksum.

Usage

• Remove duplicates, a confirmation is required for each file

$ ./remove-duplicates.sh /path/to/my/library

• Remove duplicates, files are removed without confirmation

$ ./remove-duplicates.sh -y /path/to/my/library
