Python based application sorting (copy/move) images based on their exif capture date

Written by Jean-Marc Volle

Images from the source folder are copied/moved in the destination folder in specific folders created according to the year and the month of the day the image was taken (exif capture date).

Eg : An image taken on the 4th of July 2016 is moved/copied to destination/2016/07

1. Copy the files listed in Files section
2. Choose en/fr language in sort_images.ini
3. Run sort_image.py using your favorite python environment

• exifread 2.1.2

• sort_image.py : main for the application
• resources.py : resource file (localization)
• sort_images.ini : configuration file
  • language selection (en/fr):
  • Debug mode: In debug mode no file operations (copy/move) are performed

• python 3.4.4 (32bits/Windows)
