Move (or copy) multimedia files to a defined path
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mvfotos copies multimedia files, such as fotos, movies and sounds to a
|
||
|
|
specific preconfigured path. Use /etc/mvfotos.conf or ~/.mvfotos to
|
||
|
|
configure the details. Call mvfotos -h for help on the parameters.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It sorts the files according to year and season. This information is
|
||
|
|
either taken from EXIF (JPEG) or from the file's original creation
|
||
|
|
date. if necessary, JPEG files are losslessly rotated automatically if the
|
||
|
|
respective EXIF flag is set.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On my system, all multimedia files from foto and video cameras or
|
||
|
|
music recorders are stored in /var/data/family and then in
|
||
|
|
subdirectories according to the file type. See my configuration in
|
||
|
|
/etc/mvfotos.conf and overwrite that according to your needs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then simply plugin a camera, open the files in a foldeer and call on
|
||
|
|
the command line, e.g.:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
mvfotos -p birthday-party /media/camera/DCIM/file1.jpg \
|
||
|
|
/media/camera/DCIM/file2.jpg \
|
||
|
|
/media/camera/DCIM/file3.jpg \
|
||
|
|
/media/camera/DCIM/file4.jpg
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To achieve this, I type "mvfotos -p birthday-party", select the files,
|
||
|
|
then drag and drop the selected files to the console.
