NAME
       import-pictures - copy/move pictures from a directory

SYNOPSIS
       import-pictures [options]

DESCRIPTION
       import-pictures copies or moves pictures from one directory (for
       example from a mounted camera) to another directory. You can choose
       date ranges from within to copy the images. For example you can just
       choose the pictures from one day of the event in one directory and
       after that you can move the other day into another directory.

OPTIONS
       -h, --help
	   Prints out a brief help

       -d, --debug
	   Enable additional debug informations

       -m, --move
	   Move pictures instead of copying

       -x, --exif
	   Use exif metadata as data instead of creation date of the file

       -f, --filetypes "filetypes" (default: jpg,nef)
	   Comma separated list of file extensions to work on (default jpg and
	   nef)

       -o, --origin "origindir"
	   From which directory pictures should be copied.

       -t, --to "targetdir"
	   Where to copy the pictures to. If targetdir does not exist it will
	   be created.

       -s, --start-date "date"
	   From which date images should get copied. You can use relative
	   dates as used in the date command.

       -e, --end-date "date"
	   Until which date images should get copied. You can use relative
	   dates as used in the date command.

       -i, --start-num "startnumber"
	   Starting number for the _COUNTER_ template

       -r, --rotate
	   Use exifautotran to rotate the pictures automatically

       --simulate
	   Don't do anything, just print out what would happen.

       -T, --template "templatestring"
	   You can rename files according to a simple template string.
	   Currently the following template strings are supported:

	   _COUNTER_
	       This is a counter which gets incremented for every picture

	   _DAY_, _MONTH_, _YEAR, _HOUR_, _MINUTE_, _SEC_
	       Will be replaced by the according date strings.

	   NOTE: Don't add a file extension the templat or you will end with
	   doubled extensions.

	   For example 'foobar-_YEAR__MONTH__DAY_-_COUNTER_' results in
	   filenames like foobar-20060916-44.nef

EXAMPLES
       Copy the pictures from the last week up to now based on their exif tag
       and rename them to last_week-YearMonthDay-Counter.suffix

	 % import-pictures --exif --start-date 'one week ago' --origin /mnt/cam/DCIM/
	   --to Bilder/Last_Week --template 'last_week-_YEAR__MONTH__DAY_-_COUNTER_'
