GPSPhotoSorter

Use Google Maps KML files to automatically sort photos in to subfolders.

WORK-IN-PROGRESS. Initial code was created by ChatGPT.

Description

I asked ChatGPT to describe what the script does:

This script is a Python program for sorting photos based on GPS data. It takes input images from a directory specified by the user using the --input argument, reads the GPS coordinates of each image using the exifread library, and then checks if the coordinates lie within any of the polygons defined in a KML file specified by the user using the --kml argument. If the coordinates are within a polygon, the script moves the image to a directory corresponding to that polygon in another directory specified by the user using the --output argument. If the coordinates are not within any polygon or if there is no GPS data for the image, the script moves the image to a directory specified by the user using the --nogpsdir argument.

The script uses the argparse library to handle command-line arguments. It also uses the xml.etree.ElementTree library to parse the KML file, the shapely.geometry library to create and manipulate polygons, and the os and shutil libraries to move files between directories.

Overall, this script provides a useful tool for organizing photos based on their GPS coordinates and the user's desired organization scheme.

Usage

usage: sortphotosbygps.py [-h] [--kml KML] [--input INPUT] [--output OUTPUT]
                          [--nogpsdir NOGPSDIR]

Sort photos in to directories based on GPS data.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help           show this help message and exit
  --kml KML            Path to KML file containing GPS areas (default: GPS
                       Areas.kml)
  --input INPUT        Path to directory containing photos (default: photos)
  --output OUTPUT      Path to directory where sorted photos will be moved
                       (default: sorted_photos)
  --nogpsdir NOGPSDIR  Path to directory where photos without GPS data be
                       moved (default: photos_no_gps)
