Peter, Benjamin,
I have exiftools and stat installed, but the screenshots are PNG files so I
tried it with JPEG Images, with these EXIF data is present but it moves
them to the destination folder, creates a .jpeg file and keeps overwriting
it with each file it deletes from the source. See Errors below. Looks like
it fails there is an issue with the LMDATE vs DATE command which then fails
the creation of a new folder and proper moving of the processed file....
=========================
dbwente-mac:source dbwente$ ./mike
Scanning for *.jpg...
./SAM_5072.JPG: Checking EXIF... found: 2012:09:10 09:56:17
usage: date [-jnu] [-d dst] [-r seconds] [-t west] [-v[+|-]val[ymwdHMS]]
...
[-f fmt date | [[[mm]dd]HH]MM[[cc]yy][.ss]] [+format]
Will rename to .jpeg
sed: 1: "y/:///": transform strings are not the same length
Moving to /Users/dbwente/Pictures/SCREENSHOTS/destination//.jpeg ... done.
./SAM_5073.JPG: Checking EXIF... found: 2012:09:10 09:56:24

Will rename to .jpeg
sed: 1: "y/:///": transform strings are not the same length
Moving to /Users/dbwente/Pictures/SCREENSHOTS/destination//.jpeg ... done.
./SAM_5074.JPG: Checking EXIF... found: 2012:09:10 09:56:30
usage: date [-jnu] [-d dst] [-r seconds] [-t west] [-v[+|-]val[ymwdHMS]]
...
[-f fmt date | [[[mm]dd]HH]MM[[cc]yy][.ss]] [+format]
Will rename to .jpeg
sed: 1: "y/:///": transform strings are not the same length
Moving to /Users/dbwente/Pictures/SCREENSHOTS/destination//.jpeg ... done.
================
In the destination folder I have a single .jpeg UNIX file as a result of
all these transactions.
Cheers
