I downloaded all my photos with google takeout.
The folder structure is an absolute mess.
It would be nice to organise them into YYYY/MM folders but I haven’t been able to think of an easy way to do that.
I note that all images seem to have sidecar files ? Like matching json files. I’ve never encountered these before and not really aware of any command line tools that support them. It’s just another challenge as regards writing a script to re-organise files.
Any insights much appreciated.
As I recall working with EXIF is generally a pain in the butt. In js the best you can hope for is a wrapper around some CLI based thing that I can’t remember the name of right now.
