pictaggr

set exif tags in your pictures based on file and directory names

About

given a directory of jpeg pictures:

~/Pictures/20160613_Ferien_Antalya_Public

your pictures in that directory will get these exif tags:

20160613
Ferien
Antalya
Public

pictaggr exif tags will be compatible to shotwell exif tags

shotwell is writing such tags in the Keyword exif tag:

mgafner@puzzle:~/$ exiftool -Keywords ~/Pictures/184631.jpg
Keywords                        : 20160613, Ferien, Antalya, Public

To write the tag as we want:

mgafner@puzzle:~/$ exiftool -Keywords="20160613, Ferien, Antalya, Public" ~/Pictures/184631.jpg
