Timestamp and scale all the images.

These scripts write the time and date from the EXIF date of an image, as text onto that image, and scales the image into a smaller one. And this for a all the images in a dir.

Scripts

This is done via one of these scripts:

1. timestamp_files.sh, to add a timestamp from the EXIF data to all the image in the input dir and write output to the output dir.
2. timestamp_file.sh, does the same as 'timestamp_files.sh', but only for 1 file and needs to be called with cli variables.
3. timesstamp_parallel.sh, does the same as 'timestamp_files.sh', but only in parallel in stead of sequential. Makes use of 'timestamp_file.sh'.
4. timestamp-rescale.sh, to scale all the images in the input dir into a smaller images in the output dir..
5. combine-tiemstamp-rescale.sh, runs first the timestamp and then the rescale.

These scripts is using:

1. 'convert' and 'identify', which is part of 'imagemagick'.
2. the font Roboto, which you can replace in the script by another.
3. Part of every GNU ecosystem:
4. 'bash' (for running script).
5. 'date' function/application.
6. 'echo' (for overal usage).
7. 'tr', 'cut' (for date format).
8. 'grep', 'ls', 'wc' (for progressbar).

Backlog

1. [V] count input files
2. [V] count timestamped files
3. [V] count scaled files
4. [V] start, stop, duration time feedback
5. [-] optimize scale script to use parallelization
6. [-] run renamejpg from the combine script on the input file directory
7. [-] if scaled/timestamped dir are with files, by default rename dir (overwrite with cli flag)

You need to install imagemagick.

install

• sudo apt install imagemagick
• sudo apt install parallel

test install

• convert logo: logo.gif
• convert -version
• identify -version

List fonts to see if roboto is there.

• fc-list | grep -i arial
• convert -list font|grep Liberation-Sans
