qimgv_cat

If you work with a lot of images this helper could help you tremendously, by moving images and auto renaming them if needed. The script moves the image to a sub-directory in the same location as the image.

Installation

Copy the qimgv_cat script under /usr/local/bin or whereever you like.

Define scripts in qimgv with the following command:

/usr/local/bin/qimgv_cat streetphoto %file%
/usr/local/bin/qimgv_cat portraits %file%
...etc...

And assign a hotkey to it, and voila with one press of a key you can move the image to a directory of your choice.

How it works?

Calling qimgv_cat street /home/user/myimage.jpg will:

• create a subdir street where myimage.jpg resides
• move the myimage.jpg into that subdir (/home/usr/street/)
• if file exists at destination, file gets auto renamed.

Notes

Requires python3 and only uses builtin modules.
