do_shoebox

The syntax of the command:

do_shoebox.py 
usage: do_shoebox [-h] -s SRCDIR -o OUTPUT [-l] [-t] [-d] [-i INFIX] [-p PREFIX] -e EXTENSION [-n]
do_shoebox: error: the following arguments are required: -s/--srcdir, -o/--output, -e/--extension

• -s is mandatory
• -o is mandatory
• -e is mandatory

The long help:

do_shoebox.py --help
usage: do_shoebox [-h] -s SRCDIR -o OUTPUT [-l] [-t] [-d] [-i INFIX] [-p PREFIX] -e EXTENSION [-n]

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -s, --srcdir SRCDIR   Source directory of containing the photos.
  -o, --output OUTPUT   Output directory where the photos should go.
  -l, --lower           Convert filename to lower case.
  -t, --time            Add time to the destination filename.
  -d, --date            Add date to the destination filename.
  -i, --infix INFIX     this string is added before the old filename.
  -p, --prefix PREFIX   this string is added before the date and/or time filename.
  -e, --extension EXTENSION
                        Check only files with this extension (case insensitive).
  -n, --dryrun          Do not change any file, it shows what is going to happen.

Exaples of using do_shoubox.py

-n does a dry run, and does not change a thing and shows what it is going to do, note that it shows that it creates directories more than once, when running without the -n it only creates the directory once.

What the command below does:

• -l converts the origanal filename to lower case
• -s ./shoe_box it looks in the direcory ./shoe_box recursivly
• -e jpg checks for extension 'jpg', case insensitive
• -p dig adds dig in front of the origianal filename
• -d adds the date yyyymmdd after dig
• -t adss the time HHMMSS afer the date (24h clock)
• -i . adds a dot after the time
• -o /srv/media/photos moves the file to this direcory.

So if the original filename was DSC_12345.JPG then the new name is going to be dig20251229111009.dsc_12345.jpg and the target direcory will be /srv/media/photos/2025/dec`.

If the destination file exist, it will check if both sha256 sums of the file are the same, if so, it add .done to the original file and no more. If the sums are not the same it will try to create a file with .1 in it, so the new filename in the above example becomes dig20251229111009.dsc_12345.1.jpg it that one also exist it will make it .2 and so on.

do_shoebox.py -l -i . -p dig -t -d -s ./shoe_box -o /srv/media/photos -e jpg -n
do_shoebox.py -l -i . -p dig -t -d -s ./shoe_box -o /srv/media/photos -e jpg

Just move the files in a yyyy/month the following would work:

do_shoebox.py -l  -s ./todo -o /srv/media/photos/RAW -e nef
