Hi Guys, I am trying to arrange a huge amount of photos with a linux script into a timestamped folder hierarchy but failing to get the script right, has anyone done the same before. I am using a Mac to try out various scripts found online, once I get it right i intend to run the same on my NAS that has an Ubuntu variant OS.
I found this, http://mikebeach.org/2011/12/10/bash-script-to-automatically-sort-photos-into-folders-based-on-exif-data-for-ubuntu-linux/ edited to the file attached and its deleting the photos from my source directory with this error. ============ dbwente-mac:source dbwente$ ./mike Scanning for *.jpg... ... end of *.jpg Scanning for *.jpeg... ... end of *.jpeg Scanning for *.png... ./Screen Shot 2012-03-18 at 23.29.45 1.png: Checking EXIF... not found. stat: illegal option -- - usage: stat [-FlLnqrsx] [-f format] [-t timefmt] [file ...] Using LMDATE: usage: date [-jnu] [-d dst] [-r seconds] [-t west] [-v[+|-]val[ymwdHMS]] ...

Cheers -- /Daniel
