You then just select them all, right click and choose “Delete Selected Files”. It’s also a good idea to make sure they are backed up somewhere, just in case you accidentally delete something you need to recover. IMPORTANT: Before you delete, make sure you go to Options -> Duplicate Search Options -> Show Only Duplicate Files. Once complete it will display all the files that are duplicated. It will take a while, depending on how many photos you have. Select “Duplicates Search” as the search mode:Įnter the folder, mine is P:_media\Photos same photo with a different name) and decided to use “SearchMyFiles” from NirSoft instead of create my own script. I also researched a bunch of options to remove duplicate files based on the file content (i.e. You can change that by using the -format parameter, which uses the standard time time format strings found here: Custom date and time format strings Remove Duplicate Files If different then it will move all files to the new location.īy default it uses the following folder structure to move folders to: "yyyy/yyyy_MM/yyyy_MM_dd" If the same then it will rename in place. The source and dest can be the same directory or different directories. \PhotoOrganizer.ps1 -source "P:\_media\Photos" -dest "P:\_media\Photos"

Open PowerShell, I’m using PowerShell 7.1.

Moves the file from the source directory to the destination directory.

The equivalent date for document is called Content created. The embedded Date taken won’t change subsequently, but may lose due to some reasons.

If the destination directory already has a file with the same name, then it renames the file. When a photo is taken on digital camera or mobile phone, the taken time is stored into its metadata along with other information, like camera name and edit program.

If the source file and destination file have the exact same path, then it skips that file.

If it doesn’t, then it finds all properties that have “date” or “created” in them and uses the oldest date.

If file has EXIF Data Taken, then it uses that.

Loops through each file in the source directory looking for a date to use.

I scoured the internet looking for apps and tools to help me do this and I tried a bunch of them, but none of them supported getting the EXIF “Date Taken” date and other dates from all the various formats. I wanted to get them organized in folders by date taken like so: They were all stored on my hard drive, but in random folders with random names. Photos from various phones and cameras - all with many different formats, JPEG, RAW, PNG, etc. I know of no converter that would do what you want.I recently decided to organize all of my photos from the last 20 years. If you stick with HEIC and do the conversion, the file date will never automatically match the Date Time Original of the EXIF data.

So, I guess the question for you is, do you need/want to stick with HEIC, or are you willing to roll back to JPG format at the time the image is taken. You can see that the Date Time Original is still November 12, 2020, even though the file name has a date of today. Opening it in Preview and then Tools/Show Inspector let me look at the exif data for the image. It was exported as a jpg and was given a creation date of today, which is logical as that is the date the file was created. In Photos, for example, I just exported a file of a picture taken November 12, 2020. In that EXIF is the date the image was taken. The EXIF metadata about the image is (or should be) the same as it was. However, "creation date" on the file data relates to the *file* not the image. Settings/Camera/Formats and select Most Compatible and it will start making jpg files directly. You could change the format of the pictures you take as you take them.
