I have done a major stuff up of my photos getting things mixed up. What I have noticed is that there are photos with Exif data and Photos without Exif data. I want to be able to separate them. So I was thinking of a script that checks for the presence of exif data, specifically the DateTime and returns true/false so hazel can then move the files not containing the Exif Data DateTime.
Not sure how to do this and got even more confused with ExifTools but found this script and the top part of it looked promising. Could it be modified to do what I need?
The bit of code shown is what caught my eye as able to be possibly used - the second lot of code is the whole script as found:
- Code: Select all
# Nested execution (action) call
# This is invoked when the programs calls itself with
# $1 = "doAction"
# $2 = <file to handle>
# This is NOT expected to be run by the user in this matter, but can be for single image
# sorting. Minor output issue when run in this manner. Related to find -print0 below.
#
# Are we supposed to run an action? If not, skip this entire section.
if [[ "$1" == "doAction" && "$2" != "" ]]; then
# Check for EXIF and process it
echo -n ": Checking EXIF... "
DATETIME=`identify -verbose "$2" | grep "exif:DateTime:" | awk -F '{print $2" "$3}'`
if [[ "$DATETIME" == "" ]]; then
echo "not found."
if [[ $USE_LMDATE == "TRUE" ]]; then
# I am deliberately not using %Y here because of the desire to display the date/time
# to the user, though I could avoid a lot of post-processing by using it.
DATETIME=`stat --printf='%y' "$2" | awk -F. '{print $1}' | sed y/-/:/`
echo " Using LMDATE: $DATETIME"
else
echo " Moving to ./noexif/"
mkdir -p "${MOVETO}noexif" && mv -f "$2" "${MOVETO}noexif"
exit
fi;
else
echo "found: $DATETIME"
fi;

###############################################################################
#
# The following are the only settings you should need to change:
#
# TS_AS_FILENAME: This can help eliminate duplicate images during sorting.
# WARNING: Any two files with the same filename are automatically overwritten when
# this is on. FIXME: Handle filename collisions.
# TRUE: File will be renamed to the Unix timestamp and its extension.
# FALSE (any non-TRUE value): Filename is unchanged.
TS_AS_FILENAME=TRUE
#
# USE_LMDATE: If this is TRUE, images without EXIF data will have their Last Modified file
# timestamp used as a fallback. If FALSE, images without EXIF data are put in noexif/ for
# manual sorting.
# WARNING: Filename collisions are NOT handled when this is off. Files are automatically
# overwritten.
# FIXME: Handle collisions when this is off.
# Valid options are "TRUE" or anything else (assumes FALSE). FIXME: Restrict to TRUE/FALSE
#
USE_LMDATE=TRUE
#
# USE_FILE_EXT: The following option is here as a compatibility option as well as a bugfix.
# If this is set to TRUE, files are identified using FILE's magic, and the extension
# is set accordingly. If FALSE (or any other value), file extension is left as-is.
# CAUTION: If set to TRUE, extensions may be changed to values you do not expect.
# See the manual page for file(1) to understand how this works.
# NOTE: This option is only honored if TS_AS_FILENAME is TRUE.
#
USE_FILE_EXT=TRUE
#
# JPEG_TO_JPG: The following option is here for personal preference. If TRUE, this will
# cause .jpg to be used instead of .jpeg as the file extension. If FALSE (or any other
# value) .jpeg is used instead. This is only used if USE_FILE_EXT is TRUE and used.
#
JPEG_TO_JPG=FALSE
#
#
# The following is an array of filetypes that we intend to locate using find.
# Any imagemagick-supported filetype can be used, but EXIF data is only present in
# jpeg and tiff. Script will optionally use the last-modified time for sorting (see above)
# Extensions are matched case-insensitive. *.jpg is treated the same as *.JPG, etc.
# Can handle any file type; not just EXIF-enabled file types. See USE_LMDATE above.
#
FILETYPES=("*.jpg" "*.jpeg" "*.png" "*.tif" "*.tiff" "*.gif" "*.xcf")
#
# Optional: Prefix of new top-level directory to move sorted photos to.
# if you use MOVETO, it MUST have a trailing slash! Can be a relative pathspec, but an
# absolute pathspec is recommended.
# FIXME: Gracefully handle unavailable destinations, non-trailing slash, etc.
#
MOVETO=""

Not game enough or smart enough to try and modify it myself.
