Photo management at the cmdline - recommendations? - Lemmy.World

Can anyone recommend a tool to manage photos at the cmdline? I just want to move photos into dirs based on their metadata (YYYY/DD), occasionally fix up metadata (adjust dates), rename photo filenames to match a template and/or query my photos for certain things. It doesn’t need to be a gallery or image touch-up tool, I have other things for that. I’m aware of exiftool and ImageMagick, perhaps they can do the job but they seem quite low level, really need to build scripts around them - I’d like something that operates at a slightly higher level so I don’t have to do too much scripting. A quick search turned up chee [https://github.com/eikek/chee] (GPLv3) which can: - search photos using a simple query language - manage named queries (called collections) - copy/symlink images into a custom folder structure …but it’s not had an update in a few years (maybe it’s feature complete tho!) Any other suggestions? Thanks.
