Hi y'all, My high-end point&shoot camera likes to glob all my photos in a single folder, and it's glutting up my drive, and makes finding a specific trip unpleasant, with no good place for metadata. My SLR sorts them into folders by date, which I love. I can't find anything close googling, so I d/l a bunch of perl examples. Before I figure this out in python (I'm a hardware developer by trade, so that seems most sensible [libc doesn't seem to have any os-agnostic way of playing with file times, no?])... I thought I'd check if there's some trivially simple way of doing this with bash & find first. And, no, I'm kind of a keyboard jockey, so I'm not even considering importing all my photos into some app for handing my metadata. Text files do that just fine if I can sort them into folders. Best, Steve
