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. |
