Subsequently I want these pictures to be sorted, and I don't want any duplicates. - -This entire process is structured around using ArchLinux. Below is how I complete this: - -# Mount your phone's storage -I use `simple-mtpfs` to access my phone, this is installed from the AUR using `yay`: -``` -yay -S simple-mtpfs -simple-mtpfs -l -mkdir phone -simple-mtpfs --device 1 phone -ls phone -``` -This should now print out the file and folder structure of your phone. - -# Install Phockup -Now we're going to install `phockup` to sort the files into a coherent folder structure: -``` -sudo pacman -S perl-image-exiftool python3 -curl -L https://github.com/ivandokov/phockup/archive/latest.tar.gz -o phockup.tar.gz -tar -zxf phockup.tar.gz -sudo mv phockup-* /opt/phockup -sudo ln -s /opt/phockup/phockup.py /usr/local/bin/phockup -``` - -# Mount your storage -Now we're going to mount our cloud storage destination, using the ever useful `rclone`: -``` -mkdir pictures -rclone mount drive-pictures: pictures --daemon -``` - -# Sort your images -Now we can invoke `phockup` to sort and move the source files to the destination folder: -``` -phockup phone/DCIM/Camera/ pictures/personal/photos/ -m -mv phone/Pictures/Screenshots/* pictures/personal/screenshots/ -v -rm -rf phone/DCIM/.thumbnails -find phone -maxdepth 2 -type d -not -path "*/\.*" -empty -delete -``` -I also move my screenshots, as I like these being backed up but I don't care about how they're sorted. -I also delete unused thumbnails and empty folders, just to keep things tidy. - -# Dedupe your images -Lastly, I deduplicate the images using `jdupes`. This will prompt you for every match it finds which copy you want: -``` -yay -S jdupes -jdupes pictures/personal -rd -``` - -And you're done. - -* **Edit 2020-10-26:** Improved empty directory deletion section |
