A personal tool for monitoring for new photos synced from a phone via SyncThing and placing them into the real photos directory automatically.
Each photo's modification time is used to determine the year it was taken and it is copied to ${target}/${year}/${filename}.
A cache of seen files is maintained in ~/.cache so that files which are deleted from the target directory are not re-copied.
Usage
Compile:
go build
Install the binary in a location such as /usr/local/bin/photosorter.
Copy the provided systemd template photosorter.service to ~/.config/systemd/user/ and edit the source path (-s) and target path (-t) to match your needs.
Activate the service:
systemctl --user enable photosorter
systemctl --user start photosorter
Watch output with:
journalctl --user-unit photosorter -f
