  • elodie

    An EXIF-based photo assistant, organizer and workflow automation tool.

  • It's not currently possible to use osxphotos with photos outside of the Photos.app nor is this a use case I plan to support. osxphotos is very tightly coupled to Photos.app. However, there are other apps that may help. For example elodie is another command line tool that automatically files photos using a customizable naming scheme. I'm the author of osxphotos and I have a similar app, autofile that, like elodie, can automatically file photos (and other file types) based on a customizable template (using the same template language as osxphotos). Unfortunately autofile currently only runs on MacOS but I am working on a re-write that will allow it to run on Windows and Linux. For your use case I think elodie is probably the best option at the moment.

  • autofile

    Mac command line app to automatically move or copy files based on metadata associated with the files. For example, file your photos based on EXIF metadata or use MP3 tags to file your music files.
