    ISO 8601 is amazing for data storage and standardizing the date.

    Display purposes sure, whatever you feel like

    But goddammit if you don’t use ISO 8601 to store dates, I will find you, and I will standardize your code.

      I actually need to standardize my code. I’ve got “learning F2” as something I want to do soon. The goal: use the exif data of my pictures to create [date in ISO 8601] - [original filename].[original file type termination]

      So a picture taken the third of march 2022 titled “asdf.jpg” would become “2022-3-3 - asdf.jpg”

      Help? lol

        If you’re on Linux exiftool can get the creation date for you: exiftool -p '$CreateDate' -d '%Y-%m-%d' FILENAME, and you could run tgat in a loop over your files, something like:

        mkdir -p out
        for f in *.jpg
        do
        createdate=$(exiftool -p '$CreateDate' -d '%Y-%m-%d' "${f}")
        cp -p "${f}" "out/${createdate} - ${f}"
        done
        

        Obviously don’t justbgo running code some stranger just posted on the internet, especially as I haven’t tested it, but that should copy images from the current directory to a subdirectory called ‘out’ with the correct filenames.

          ok I think I finally need to ask

          What the fuck is up with the html code? Ive seen this in a lot of posts and it just throws me every time.

            I don’t see any HTML when I look at that comment from Lemmy, but kbin seems to make a real mess of rendering code blocks. Basically that bit had a few lines of code they could yse to do what they wanted.

        I did this in the past and I would search through my notes… If I had notes ffs.

          I’m using NixOS. Ext4 filesystem. As to language, I’m not entirely sure what you mean. If you refer to the character set in the filenames, I think there are no characters that deviate from the English alphabet, numbers, dashes, and underscores.

            Oh ok so you’re more so working with folder structure etc, so bash for when you plug-in a card?

            I’m thinking in more programmatic terms, there’s definitely some bash scripting you can execute. Or just go balls out and write a service that executes on systemctl
