* fetchphotos
This script gets data from the SD storage card of my digital camera
to my computer. It rotates portrait format images and renames files
according to my file name convention.
Please note: this is a replacement for a quick-hack shell script:
https://github.com/novoid/getdigicamdata.sh
It is part of a blog article, where I describe my work-flows on how I
manage my photographs and more: http://karl-voit.at/managing-digital-photographs/
** Usage
fetchphotos gets image files from the [[Gen][source directory]] (specified in
the configuration file), and moves the finished files to the
[[*General:DESTINATIONDIR][destination directory]]. Along the way, it can add a [[*File_processing:ADD_TIMESTAMP][timestamp]] to the
file name, [[*File_processing:ROTATE_PHOTOS][rotate]] the image, and make the filename [[*File_processing:LOWERCASE_FILENAME][lowercase]].
*** Examples
If you haven't run fetchphotos before, type
: fetchphotos.py --generate-configfile
... will generate a skeleton configuration file (and say where the
file is). You will need to edit this file and provide value for the
source and destination directories (look for "replace me!").
: fetchphotos.py
... will take all the image files in the source directory, rotate them
as appropriate, add timestamps to the file names, convert the file
names to lowercase, and put these files in the destination directory.
: fetchphotos.py /some/directory/*.jpg
... will transform the files as above, but will only use the files in
/some/directory/*.jpg as the source images.
: fetchphotos.py --help
... will print a complete list of options.
** Configuration file reference
*** General:DIGICAMDIR
The directory where the camera files are located. This can be a
location on the camera itself, if it's mounted as an external drive,
or if you need to run a program to get pictures off the camera, the
directory where that program stores the pictures.
This value has no default. It must be specified before use.
*** General:DESTINATIONDIR
The directory where the processed files will be copied to.
This value has no default. It must be specified before use.
*** File_processing:ROTATE_PHOTOS
Rotate the photo according to EXIF data in the image, if available. It
can be 'true' or 'false'.
This value has a default of 'true'.
*** File_processing:ADD_TIMESTAMP
Add timestamp according to ISO 8601+ http://datestamp.org/index.shtml
can be one of 'true' or 'false' example: if true, file 'foo.jpg' will
end up in '2009-12-31T23.59.59_foo.jpg' Note that the time used comes
from the EXIF metadata in the image, if available, and from the
creation date of the image file otherwise.
This value has a default of 'true'.
*** File_processing:LOWERCASE_FILENAME
Rename files to lowercase. Can be one of 'true' or 'false'. Example:
if true, file 'Foo.JPG' will end up in 'foo.jpg'.
This value has a default of 'true'.
*** File_processing:KEEP_ORIGINALS
Don't delete the files in DIGICAMDIR. If you have confidence that fetchphotos
does what you want, you can set this to false.
KEEP_ORIGINALS=true
