findphoto

findphoto is a simple script to find photos given certain criteria.

Installation

Install as follows: go get -u github.com/sjmudd/ps-top/findphoto

The sources will be downloaded together with the dependencies and the binary will be built and installed into $GOPATH/bin/. If this path is in your PATH setting then the program can be run directly without having to specify any specific path.

Dependencies

These are included using standard Go Vendoring: GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT=1

Configuration

No configuration needed.

Usage

Currently this is very simple. It allows to search for files by filename (e.g. in your backup) and with a specific camera model (taken from the EXIF data). This is because some file names may be duplicated and from different cameras.

If we have a file with missing photos such as missing.ALL

IMG_0001.JPG
IMG_0002.JPG
IMG_0003.JPG

then we can do the following:

• Find missing files in missing.ALL in path /search/path

$ findphoto \
	--verbose \
	--camera-model="Canon EOS 20D" \
	--search-file=missing.ALL \
	/search/path

• Find missing files in missing.ALL in path /search/path and make symbolic links to them in directory results.

$ findphoto \
	--symlink-dir=results \
	--camera-model="Canon EOS 20D" \
	--search-file=missing.ALL \
	/search/path

• Show the camera model of some files:

$ ./findphoto \
	--verbose \
	--show-camera-model \
	/path/to/some/photo/files

To do

• add more search criteria or filters
• copy the files found to a specific location for further analysis
