I wrote a small python script to sort my images of my son into folders named month + year where the image was taken. Not more or less. Put into the directory where the images are and run.

Code:

#moves images of working directory into folders with their creation month + year from shutil import move from os import listdir, makedirs, getcwd from os.path import isfile, join, exists, isdir import exifread import sys months = {'01' : 'Januar', '02' : 'Februar', '03' : 'Maerz', '04' : 'April', '05' : 'Mai', '06' : 'Juni', '07' : 'Juli', '08' : 'August', '09' : 'September', '10' : 'Oktober', '11' : 'November', '12' : 'Dezember'} path_name = getcwd() files = [ f for f in listdir(path_name) if isfile(join(path_name,f))] for image in files: with open(image, "rb") as f: tags = exifread.process_file(f, stop_tag='EXIF DateTimeOriginal') datestr = "0" if "EXIF DateTimeOriginal" in tags: datestr = str(tags["EXIF DateTimeOriginal"]) elif "Image DateTime" in tags: datestr = str(tags["Image DateTime"]) if not datestr == "0": month = months[datestr.split(":")[1]] year = datestr.split(":")[0] folder = month + " " + year if not exists(folder): makedirs(folder) if isdir(folder): move(image, folder) print "moved", image, "to", folder, "with date", datestr else: print >> sys.stderr, folder, "is no directory" else: print "no date found for", image

This is why I love programmers the most. Write little scripts and Get your work done simply,instead of doing it manually. I do a similar thing when organizing my files into specified directories. Thing become simple with code and Python. I love this language more than Java.

Truly fabulous.
