Welcome to Photexo wiki!

Photexo was developed to sort photos.

Have photos from different sources like a camera, mobile phones, and so on.
These devices use different files name systems.

Prefer to have all photos sorted like yyyy/mmdd/photo
where yyyy and mmdd are directories.
And all photos should get a unique name.

For the unique name we use "i" yymmdd_hhnnss.jpg
Do not change the file extension.

Workflow example:

copy all files from device to a directory: temp
use any too available on your system
some devices connect via usb, some mtp or others.

Files are moved and the temp directory will be empty:
>photexo move magic temp /home/photos

Other options are

Print help text:
>photexo -h

Files will be copied and the original file remain in temp:
>photexo copy magic temp /home/photos

As before but assume all photos are made with sony a37:
>photexo copy a37 temp /home/photos

note:
y = year
m = month
d = day of the month
h = hours
n = minutes
s = seconds

The connection & device transfer is no longer inside this tool because it became to complicated.

P.S. We remain committed to support you via Wiki and Discussion sections of this site.
