What problem does this solve? Here's my typical photo-uploading workflow:
-- bring GBs of unorganized photos to work
-- upload GBs of photos from work to my personal server at 100 Mbps.
-- go home
-- rsync down from my server all photos at 6 Mbps. still pretty fast.
-- rearrange/rename. instead of DCIM/nnnCANON/, I rearrange into, say, "Day5-Paris/".
Now, how do I get my photos online? Two choices:
1) upload them from home.
2) upload them from my server (not my home server)
But the problems with the above are, respectively:
1) slow upstream. Not 100 Mbps. More like 1. GBs would take forever.
2) the files aren't in the right places on the server. I only rearranged then locally.
Rsync won't do. Rsync doesn't deal with files changing directories.
Enter treearrange:
Here's my server, where it all begins:
bradfitz@personal_web:~/honeymoon_pics$ find -type d . ./DCIM ./DCIM/179CANON ./DCIM/180CANON ./DCIM/181CANON ./DCIM/182CANON ./DCIM/183CANON ./DCIM/184CANON ./DCIM/185CANON ./DCIM/186CANON ./Elph ./Elph/DCIM ./Elph/DCIM/135CANON ./Elph/DCIM/136CANON ./Elph/DCIM/CANONMSCI rsync them down to my house (pretty fast), and rearrange them:
sammy:Sorted $ find -type d . ./Barcelona_Airport_Hell ./Barcelona-1 ./Barcelona-2 ./Boat ./Lisa ./Malta ./Marseille ./Midnight_Buffet ./Naples-Vesuvius-Pompeii ./Palma_de_Mallorca ./Rome ./Stockholm-1Now, using treearrange, I snapshot where the files are supposed to live:
sammy:Sorted $ ./treearrange --to=arrange.dat $ head arrange.dat 945fc334853b4c5edfca34c9908258eacfc86823 Barcelona_Airport_Hell/IMG_8675.JPG fe5551ad173e425c1c8f40c4f06e72389df7c2ab Barcelona_Airport_Hell/IMG_8676.JPG c9f0589a24a8de4a65e8670b8bbb4f570a4452ca Barcelona_Airport_Hell/IMG_8677.JPG b244692481c84857d2e7824ec310ca074eee5e6c Barcelona_Airport_Hell/IMG_8678.JPG 20c6dd346021689b32702c28ec62cde6a2c3a7be Barcelona_Airport_Hell/IMG_8679.JPG f1fdd495d10aee11a1cb96019b7b6c0a11e5465f Barcelona_Airport_Hell/IMG_8680.JPG f429010fe9a906c8bf513016e03e371ee711f3f6 Barcelona_Airport_Hell/IMG_8681.JPG 7885c7b71cd21a28c11985a591e69e81a12ee316 Barcelona_Airport_Hell/IMG_8683.JPGNext I upload the arrange.dat and treearrange to my server, and do the opposite:
bradfitz@personal_web:~/honeymoon_pics$ ./treearrange --from=arrange.dat file 1 / 738... file 2 / 738... DCIM/179CANON/IMG_7977.JPG -> Barcelona-1/IMG_7977.JPG file 3 / 738... DCIM/179CANON/IMG_7978.JPG -> Barcelona-1/IMG_7978.JPG file 4 / 738... DCIM/179CANON/IMG_7979.JPG -> Barcelona-1/IMG_7979.JPG file 5 / 738... DCIM/179CANON/IMG_7980.JPG -> Barcelona-1/IMG_7980.JPG file 6 / 738... DCIM/179CANON/IMG_7981.JPG -> Barcelona-1/IMG_7981.JPG ..... bradfitz@personal_web:~/honeymoon_pics$ find -type d . ./Barcelona-1 ./Boat ./Marseille ./Lisa ./Rome ./Naples-Vesuvius-Pompeii ./Malta ./Midnight_Buffet ./Palma_de_Mallorca ./Barcelona-2 ./Barcelona_Airport_Hell ./Stockholm-1Tada!
(then I can rsync and get any rotations/adjustments/etc that I did locally which weren't just a directory move...)
