Usage

  1. Put a file film_manifest.md in a known location. See example_input_film_manifest.md for an example

  2. Organize your images directories in one of two ways:

    • Directory name: 0000XXXX/ where XXXX is a 4-digit RollNum Image name: 0000XXXX000YY.jpg where XXXX is a 4-digit RollNum, and YY is a zero-padded PhotoNum (1-36ish)
    • Directory name: roll_XXXX where XXXX is a 4-digit RollNum Image name: XXXX_YY.tif where XXXX is a 4-digit RollNum, and YY is a non-zero-padded PhotoNum (1-36ish)

  3. Run EXIFizer against a directory of images with a film manifest file

exifizer --film-manifest path/to/film_manifest.md --images-dir path/to/dir/of/images/
