Motivation

During a one week sailing trip with 5 people taking photos with different camaras I volunteered to collect the images and create a sorted collection of all photos. Unluckily the most cameras were not set to the correct date and/or time. Additionally different manufacturers are following different naming schemes for the created jpeg-files.

Goals

The goal was to rename the jpeg files to some format like 'YYYY-MM-DD_hhmmss_photographer.jpeg' to get a collection of correctly sorted images. As a software developer I refused to do that manually so I wrote a library to rename and copy the files and correct the date for all images. Later I've started to write the according UI which is still in progress but already functional.

What it does

• reads jpeg metadata
• modifies all dates for a set of images based on the date of the first picture
• UI for image preview and modifing dates
• copy renamed files to custom location
• UI configuratons (eg. last visited input and output folders) stored in xml configuration file
