image_sorting

A collection of simple helpers to make sorting of large amounts of images easier.

Disclaimer

Be careful! Some of the scripts in here do changes that are irrevertible. Make sure to keep a backup unless you know EXACTLY what you're doing (and what the script you're using does!).

Scripts

• mtime2exifcreatedate.sh: iterates over all files in a directory (every!) and (over-)writes the EXIF CreateDate tag to the modification time of the file
• modify_mtime.py: changes the modify date (mtime) of all files of the cwd by a given amount of time
• filename2mtime.py: extract a date and time from the name of all files in a directory and set their respective UNIX mtime (the modified timestamp).
• set_mtime.py: sets the modify date (mtime) of a selected file
