Hi everyone.
So I am trying to sort out my photo collection, and move certain photos (those that have specific word in Caption-Abstract IPTC tag) to a Destinational_folder
Thing is the following. I am checking various folders and subfolders. I have duplicate versions of some photos (Same filenames). However some of them are corrupted, while others are "good".
I currently use the following code (for each subfolder):
exiftool -if '$Caption-Abstract =~ /My string/i' -q -f -o /home/user/Destinational_folder -q -fast *
obviously when file already exists in Destinational_folder I get an error:
Error: '/home/user/Destinational_folder/filename.jpg' already exists - /home/current_folder_num/filename.jpg
However what I want to do: if the file in destinational folder is smaller in size (means corrupted) than current pic I am scanning, overwrite it. Otherwise, skip
Any suggestions? is it possible?
Sorry, this is not possible with ExifTool alone. You would probably need to write a custom script to do this.
