Ordigi

Description

This tool aims to make media files organized among giving pattern. It is based on exif metadata and use Sqlite database.

Goals:

  • Organize your existing collection of photos or others media types into a customizable folder structure.
  • Record metadata and other file data to an Sqlite database
  • Ability to edit metadata

Install

Ordigi relies on the great ExifTool library by Phil Harvey. Make sure is installed.

Clone this repository and install ordigi:

pip install .

Usage Instructions

Client interface

You can invoke several commands from the client interface.

Use ordigi --help and ordigi [command] --help for usage instructions. For each command there are several options that can be invoked.

Import photos to collection

The default behavior is to move files from one or several sources directories to your destination directory. However, if you want to copy use -c or --copy flag.

ordigi import -c /source1 /source2 /collection

Sort photos into collection

The sort command is essentially the same as import but restricted to the files already into the collection.

ordigi sort /subdir1 /subdir2 /collection

Compare images into collection

Sort file by similarity:

ordigi compare /subdir1 /subdir2 /collection

Undo sort files:

ordigi compare --revert-compare /subdir1 /subdir2 /collection

Verify collection against bit rot / data rot

ordigi check

Edit metadata and Reorganize by changing location and dates (WIP)

ordigi edit --location="Las Vegas, NV" --sort
ordigi edit --time="2015-04-15" --sort

Configuration

Config file

The sample configuration file ordigi.conf can be copied to ~/.config/ordigi/ordigi.conf (default location).

Numerous of option like the folder structure, exclusions and other options can be configured in this file.

Folder structure and name

The folder structure and name can be customized via placeholders, a f-String like bracket keywords. Each keyword can be freely combined in any part of the path pattern.

Default folder structure:

dirs_path=<%Y>/<%m-%b>-<city>-<folder>
name=<%Y%m%d-%H%M%S>-<%u<original_name>|%u<basename>>.%l<ext>

Example folder structure:

├── 2015
│   ├── 06-Jun-California
│   │   ├── 20150629_163414-img_3900.jpg
│   │   └── 20150629_170706-img_3901.jpg
│   └── Paris
│       └── 20150630_024043-img_3903.jpg
├── 2015
│   ├── 07-Jul-Mountain View
│   │   ├── 20150719_171637-img_9426.jpg
│   │   └── 20150724_190633-img_9432.jpg
└── 2015
│   ├── 09-Sep
    │   ├── 20150927_014138-_dsc8705.dng
    │   └── 20150927_014138-_dsc8705.nef

The folder structure use standard unix path separator (/). Fallback folder part can be optionally specified using a pipe separator and brackets (<.*|.*>).

Valid keywords are:

  • Date string like %Y%m%d pattern For details of the supported formats see strftime.org.

  • Geolocation info from OpenStreetMap: country, city, location, state

  • Folder structure of source subdirectories like folder or folders[1:] pattern, similar to python list syntax.

  • File data : basename, ext, name, original_name

  • Exif metadata info: album, camera_make, camera_model, title.

  • custom string using custom keyword.

  • Special modifiers %u/%l for upper/lower case respectively.

The default file path structure would look like 2015/07-Jul-Mountain_View/20150712-142231-original_name.jpg.

Retrieving data from media

EXIF and XMP tags

Ordigi use embedded Exif metadata to organize media files and store them in a Sqlite database.

Data type Tags Notes
Date Original EXIF:DateTimeOriginal, H264:DateTimeOriginal, EXIF:ModifyDate, file created, file modified
Date Created EXIF:CreateDate, QuickTime:CreationDate, QuickTime:CreateDate, QuickTime:CreationDate-und-US, QuickTime:MediaCreateDate
Date Modified 'File:FileModifyDate', 'QuickTime:ModifyDate'
Location EXIF:GPSLatitude/EXIF:GPSLatitudeRef, EXIF:GPSLongitude/EXIF:GPSLongitudeRef, XMP:GPSLatitude, Composite:GPSLatitude, XMP:GPSLongitude, Composite:GPSLongitude Composite tags are read-only
Title XMP:Title, XMP:DisplayName
Album XMP-xmpDM:Album, XMP:Album XMP:Album is user defined in configs/ExifTool_config for backwards compatability
Camera Make EXIF:Make, QuickTime:Make, EXIF:Model, QuickTime:Model

For example, the media date can be retrieved, by order of preference, from Date Original, Date Created. Optionally Date Modified and even filename date string can be used, depending of options used (see ordigi sort --help).

Geolocation info

Ordigi use location Exif metadata Nominatim geocoder to retrive geolocation info from OpenStreetMap
