| Pasting my own answer from [0]: --- For myself and my family, I wrote my own tool [1] that runs everyday on an "input folder". A quick google on "github photo organizer" shows a lot of others having done the same :) It organizes all traversed photos by date (extracted from exif or from filename), and puts them in a "failed" folder if it can't parse the date. If any photos get the same name, they are either deduped because they are exact duplicates, or are marked as conflicts (e.g. A.jpg and A_conflict1.jpg) if they are different. Last time I used it for a large input it took 3h for 200GB, though I suspect network latency was the main bottleneck. It's around 300 lines of python - verify the code for yourself if you want to use it! You probably also need to fork it if you don't intend to run it on a Synology NAS. However, as I mentioned last time I pitched this, elodie [2] might be more suitable for others than my little hack. Haven't used it though! 1: (https://github.com/johan-andersson01/photo_organizer 2: https://github.com/jmathai/elodie --- 0: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24019612 |
