A collection of tools for managing Google Takeout files
The preprocessor:
- Moves metadata files like
json
into their own directory - Chunks image and video files into separate directories
These actions make it easier to import into tools - like Apple Photos - that would otherwise have difficulty processing the large volume of photos in their default state.
First open the file and update the path variable at the top of this file:
path = "/path/to/Takeout/Google\ Photos/Photos\ from\ 2020"
Then execute from a command line:
$ elixir -r photo-preprocessor.ex
This kind of preprocessing is only really needed for directories with large number of files in them. Specify one directory at a time
