⚠️ Repository will soon be archived, the code is being re-written, read below for more information!
📍 Geotagged picture organizer based on location groups.
GeoPicSorter is a free and open source tool written in Java, that automatizes picture organization within folders, based on groups of real-life locations on the Earth, such as cities or streets.
The program works with various open source third-party tools and a reverse geocoding API offered by Geoapify to make the required data requests, operate with the pictures, etc.
Read the next section for some important notes regarding the program's functionality.
GeoPicSorter is early on development, and because of this, there's a lot of things to be done in order to improve its functionality and stability, implement new features, add visual feedback for picture sorting, etc.
Most notoriously, you're limited by the number of daily requests you can make with a free key, and require of a stable internet connection, you also don't have a visual display of the progress while the program is working on sorting pictures, which makes it look like its frozen while it's actually working in the background.
Refer to the TODOs project for more details on the list of missing features to be added, I welcome suggestions and contributions, of course.
GeoPicSorter detects only .jpg and .jpeg files. The re-write will bring support to more formats known to support embedded Exif metadata.
ℹ️ GeoPicSorter has been tested to work on the following OSes and architectures.
- Windows 10 x64.
Explanation on the inner workings and credits to utilized tools, as well as any other information related to GeoPicSorter are all available at the software's homepage.
First of: the project is not dead! I've been looking into what to re-write the code due to the way GUI code is generated by NetBeans, making of the code itself harder to mantain.
The tool is now being re-written in Python, and will come with a few new extras, as well as a new website, and a re-brand to the project itself, so that the name can be shortened easily.
News will be posted on the project's website here, as well as this file.
The icons are sourced from GNOME icon theme 2.10, and the layout of AboutWindow and Credits windows has been greatly inspired on those of Linux software from the 2000s, such as Gedit.
