Hello! I'm Otto.

Otto is a shell script for importing and organizing RAW and JPEG files.

• Transfer all files or RAW files only to the predefined destination directory.
• Rename the transferred files using the YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS naming format.
• For each photo, obtain camera model and lens model.
• If enabled, fetch text notes for the dates corresponding to the dates of the photos.
• Write the obtained camera model, lens model, and notes to the Comments field of each photo's EXIF metadata.
• Write the predefined copyright notice to the Copyright field of each photo's EXIF metadata.
• If keywords are specified, write them into each photo's EXIF metadata.
• Geotag photos using the geographical coordinates of the specified city.
• Geotag photos using exact geographical coordinates and altitude.
• Merge multiple GPX tracks and geocorrelate photos using the resulting GPX file.
• Group the transferred files into folders by date using the YYYY-MM-DD naming format.
• Notify on job completion via ntfy.

Otto requires the following tools: dialog, getopt, bc, jq, cURL, ExifTool, Exiv2, Rsync, wget, GPSbabel

The Linux Photography book provides detailed instructions on installing and using Otto. Get your copy at Google Play Store or Gumroad.
