gt-cleanup

Restructure the photos from Google Takeout into a folder structure, removing duplicates and extra files. Files are structured as follows

  {destination directory}/{year}/{year}_{month}/{year}_{month}_{day}

After that, you can process the files further, looking for duplicates with your library, etc.

unzipping the files

e.g.

Get-ChildItem .\Downloads\ -Filter *.zip | Expand-Archive -DestinationPath D:\takeout_2022\ -Force

example content: { "title": "IMG_20150728_203925.jpg", "description": "", "imageViews": "0", "creationTime": { "timestamp": "1438139564", "formatted": "29 Jul 2015, 03:12:44 UTC" }, "modificationTime": { "timestamp": "1566513771", "formatted": "22 Aug 2019, 22:42:51 UTC" }, "geoData": { "latitude": 0.0, "longitude": 0.0, "altitude": 0.0, "latitudeSpan": 0.0, "longitudeSpan": 0.0 }, "geoDataExif": { "latitude": 0.0, "longitude": 0.0, "altitude": 0.0, "latitudeSpan": 0.0, "longitudeSpan": 0.0 }, "photoTakenTime": { "timestamp": "1438137567", "formatted": "29 Jul 2015, 02:39:27 UTC" } }

this file had an exif timestamp: 2015:07:28 20:39:27, matching photoTakenTime

Files with "(1)" seem to be resized to fit on the screen of the phone (confirm?). These are deleted.
