I downloaded all my photos with google takeout.

The folder structure is an absolute mess.

It would be nice to organise them into YYYY/MM folders but I haven’t been able to think of an easy way to do that.

I note that all images seem to have sidecar files ? Like matching json files. I’ve never encountered these before and not really aware of any command line tools that support them. It’s just another challenge as regards writing a script to re-organise files.

Any insights much appreciated.

    There’s the python image library (and a fork of it called pillow) and exif. There’s probably a bunch of others, too.
