I prefer it like this: `sfc copy --include=type:image --sort=by:date:year,by:date:month` instead of `find -type | xargs... err what?.. err.. what was the next unix tool to pipe and filter files or types...? *sigh* Let's check Stack Overflow 😊` - I primarily use it to copy photos and videos from my camera/phone into my local library, which I have sorted by year and month and file type. How to use ---------- [](#how-to-use) ### Install [](#install) `composer global require "mk-conn/structured-file-copy"` Or into a custom place of your choice: `git clone https://github.com/mk-conn/structured-file-copy.git` ### Usage [](#usage) Composer is in your global path? Great! Just run ``` sfc copy --source=/source/folder --target=/target/folder --sort=by:date:year,by:date:month --include=type:image --exclude=ext:jpg,ext:png ``` Not? ``` ~/.composer/vendor/bin/sfc copy --source=/source/folder --target=/target/folder --sort=by:date:year,by:date:month --include=type:image --exclude=ext:jpg,ext:png ``` Get help: ``` $ sfc copy --help Description: Copies files from a source folder to a target folder in a structured way Usage: copy [options] Options: --source[=SOURCE] The source folder (if not set, files are taken from the folder where the command is executed) --target=TARGET The target folder where the files will be copied --sort[=SORT] Sort by strategies: [by:default|by:letter|by:date:year|by:date:month|by:date:day|by:file:type]. E.g., if you want to sort by date (year) and then by by letter, you can use: --sort-by=by:date:year,by:letter. This will create a folder for each year and then a folder for each letter. [default: "by:default"] -i, --include[=INCLUDE] Filter files by [ext,type]. E.g., --filter=ext:jpg,ext:png,ext:gif,ext:heic or --filter=type:image Available types: [archive|audio|video|image|font|office|pdf|postscript|richtext|php|message|text|application|xml|source|config] -e, --exclude[=EXCLUDE] Exclude files by [ext,type].
