Script fails after detecting duplicates and trying to overwrite

[Deleted user]

Hi there, first of thanks very much for this script, it is exactly what I want.

Unfortunately it seems to be having an issue with overwriting some of the duplicates. I should mention that I am asking it to sort through a large amount of photos on an external harddrive that is NTFS formatted.

Here's the error I get back:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "sortphotos.py", line 474, in
args.use_only_tags, not args.silent)
File "sortphotos.py", line 304, in sortPhotos
src_file, date, keys = get_oldest_timestamp(data, additional_groups_to_ignore, additional_tags_to_ignore)
File "sortphotos.py", line 139, in get_oldest_timestamp
exifdate = parse_date_exif(date)
File "sortphotos.py", line 47, in parse_date_exif
day = int(date_entries[2])
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '38.37'

This isn't a problem with duplicates but an unexpected format for the time stamp. Can you send me one of the photos that causes the problem? This symptom is easy to address but I'd like to get to the root of the problem.

Hi there,

Apologies for not getting back sooner. This is the last file it was
processing prior to the error appearing. Thanks for getting back to me
about this.

All best,
Will

i'll echo WillK0 here, this tool is great! thanks much for your effort.

i seem to be running into the same issue. would the erring image or any piece of it be of use?

Hi again,

I have realised since I sent this through to you that this picture may not
be the culprit. This picture was the last one it lists as being processed.
Did you get to the bottom of it by any chance?

All best,
Will

Will,

Sorry, I haven’t had time to get to this yet.  I’ve seen another error like this, and I know what the problem is.  I have a fix in mind, but would like to have a photo to test.  Your photo probably work for this, just haven’t tested it yet.  Hopefully within a week...

Will,
I actually never found an attached file to test with, but I think this fix should address the issue.

Hi Andrew,

I had sent through some more pictures but think I sent through too many so
attachment was too large to be accepted by github.

I'll test it out on those pictures when I get a chance.

Thanks again for you hard work, really enjoying having organised photos!
Now just need to actually go through them and get rid of one's I don't need.

All best,
Will
