A small program written in Golang to copy and sort photos by year and month for a source to a dest folder.

This is my first attempt at the go language. Feel free to improve it through pull requests!

Important: This has only been tested on Windows 10, let me know how it behaves in other OS.

Functionality

• Recursively visits all files and folders in the srcFolder directoy tree
• Analyses if files have Exif date information
• If so it copies the media file to the corresponding folder in the destfolder, creating the necessary folders such as Year and Month
• If the file is a media file but has no information regarding the capture date, it copies the file into a folder called Others in the destination folder
• It ignores any duplicated file or non media files

Media files supported

.tiff .tif .gif .jpeg .jpg .png .raw .webm .mkv .avi .mov .wmv .mp4 .MP4 .m4v .mpg .mp2 .mpeg

Build

go get github.com/rwcarlsen/goexif/exif
go build photosort.go errors.go

Run

./photosort --source-folder [srcFolder] --destination-folder [destFolder]
