I've been trying to find a tool that would could do the following steps:

  1. Find all the photos (and ideally videos) in multiple, nested directories.
  2. Copy the found files over to a single new directory, ignoring any duplicates.
  3. Rename the photos in a standard way, ideally using the creation time.
One tool that was recommended was PhotoStructure, but I wasn't able to make it do what I wanted. :/

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Howdy! I'm the author of PhotoStructure.

PhotoStructure does exactly what you're asking: https://photostructure.com/getting-started/automatic-library...

Note that this is a paid feature, but I give free trials (without giving a credit card!), and discounts to a ton of people--including equalization for living in a country with less buying power, open source developers, and "making the world a better place." Details are here: https://photostructure.com/about/pricing/

If you can't make it work for your situation, please post to the support forum https://forum.photostructure.com/ or hop into the discord channel https://photostructure.com/go/discord : we'll try our best to get you set up.
