That a little script I did yesterday because I needed to copy my 35gig picture gallery in a new directory then resize all the pictures.

Of course, this MUST not be done “à la mano”! So i did a little python script. : ) Here it is, hope you find it of any interest.

#!/usr/bin/env python

# Dependencies:
#     - ImageMagick (for Ubuntu user, sudo apt-get install imagemagick :) )
#    - EXIF.py (http://sourceforge.net/projects/exif-py/)

from sys import argv, stderr, stdout, exit
import os
import EXIF

# removes the slash at end of path if entered
def test_slash(entry):
    if entry[len(entry) - 1] == ‘/’ : return entry[0:-1]
    else: return entry

# usage function
def usage():
    if len(argv) != 3:
        print “Usage: ./amarino.py /path/to/source/ /path/to/target/”
        exit(0)

# EXIF info extracting
def read_exif(picture):

    p = open(source_image, “rb”)
    tags = EXIF.process_file(p)

    orientation_info = {’Horizontal (normal)’:”,
    ‘Mirrored horizontal’:’ -rotate ??’,
    ‘Rotated 180′:’ -rotate 180′,
    ‘Mirrored vertical’:’ -rotate ??’,
    ‘Mirrored horizontal then rotated 90 CCW’:’ -rotate ??’,
    ‘Rotated 90 CW’:’ -rotate 90′,
    ‘Mirrored horizontal then rotated 90 CW’:’ -rotate ??’,
    ‘Rotated 90 CCW’:’ -rotate 270′}

    return orientation_info[str(tags['Image Orientation'])]
