Some simple scripts to compress my photos

These are just some handy scripts that I use to sort and compress my photos. The compression is based on the PIL packages which needs to be installed separately.

###compress_all_images.py

This script takes four arguments uncompressed_dir, compressed_dir, quality, overwrite. All image files in uncompressed_dir will be compressed and outputted in compressed_dir, while preserving the subdirectory structure. quality is an integer between 1 and 100 with 100 perfectly preserving the quality. overwrite sets whether existing image files in compressed_dir will be overwritten.

###delete_old_raws.py

This script takes two arguments dir, and number_of_days. All raw files within dir that are older than number_of_days will be deleted.

###sort_files.py

This script creates some useful subdirectories for all photos in dir by figuring out the date taken either from the image name or the image metadata. The script may not work properly on differently formatted dates within image names. The script then sorts the files into subdirectories like this: dir/year/month
