--- title: Date Group repo: RealOrangeOne/date-group subtitle: Group files by date --- Over the years, I've taken a lot of photos on my phone, and it's hard to keep them organized properly. Large directories of files don't play nicely with [Nextcloud](https://nextcloud.com/), my storage of choice. `date-group` is my tool to solve this. Give it a directory of files, and it'll group them into directories by year and month. It gets the date in a couple ways: 1. Image EXIF data 2. Parse the filename {{% repobutton %}} I [originally wrote the tool in Python](https://github.com/RealOrangeOne/date-group-py/), but ported it to Rust for easier deployment, quite a performance improvement, and of course a safer implementation.
