Project: Python project for sorting large folder of iPhone images and videos.
I use Dropbox for backing up my iPhone photos, and I usually have 3000 plus images and videos pr year. There is also quite a few screenshots and downloads thrown into the mix, videos (which lack geolocation), and the sorting by gps is also complicated by my use of Hipstamatic for black and white photography, which seems to ignore gps location. Which is a longwinded way of saying that grouping images and video by location in subfolders gets a bit complicated. This python script does a fairly good job at organizing large numbers of images, an quickly.
It has a dry run mode for testing before actually moving anything. I also suggest copying a few hundred images into a test folder for testing it.
