Outlet6957 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I have a folder with about 10,000 images. Is there anything I can run in unraid to sort all the photos out in a format such as Year/Day-Month/File.jpg ? Thanks in advance! Edit: I heard about an exiftool. How hard would it be to make a docker for that? Link to comment
zonderling Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Filebot should be able to do that. The windows application does this verry good, You can install it on one of your VM's and do it from there, and if I'm not mistaken there is a docker for filebot too. I'll put some time in it this weekend to see if its any good. Link to comment

However I cannot install it on unraid. "Sudo apt get" does not work. Link to comment
Outlet6957 Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 Ok guys, I fixed it. What I ended up doing was installing an Ubuntu VM. I then mounted my camera folder to Ubuntu. After that I installed the exiftool <--link I used the command exiftool "-Directory<DateTimeOriginal" "-directory<filemodifydate" "-directory<createdate" -d "%Y/%b/%d" . The period at the very end signifies the current directory. If your directory is not the directory that you're working in then change the period to a /mnt/user/directory for example This worked beautifully!! Thanks for the input guys. I might use filebot next time. I am surprised we dont have an exiftool docker. If I knew how to make one, I definitely would! There are other methods to change the actual file name. This would put the files into the proper directory with a timestamp.jpg format. Link to comment

Myself I'm having more of a windows background and feel more comfortable with the GUI from filebot. It offers a lot of preset options to breakdown and sort big numbers of pix, this all with a GUI. But again, glad it worked out for you in another way Link to comment

But again, glad it worked out for you in another way I thought about doing that, does it read exif data? Also how can I install a file like exiftool.tar.gz into a docker if the tool is not in the community applications? Link to comment
