Possible to add HEIC (ios 11 pics?)

[Wouter Dijk]

Hi,

I really love your script!
Is it possible to add HEIC format to the script? (The new iOS 11 format)
I would love to include it myself, but I'm no developer... ;-)

Thanks

We'd have to wait until exiftool (https://sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/) was updated to support heic files. Sortphotos depends on that tool to extract the photo metadata.

Thanks for your reply! Ah, of course! Could have guessed it myself! Well, I hope that they add HEIC support. For now, I've written a basic bash script that sorts the HEIC. Not nearly as flexible and nice as your script, but it works for now. 2017-09-14 6:12 GMT+02:00 andrewning <[e-mail]>:

Currently it should work for heic (I've not tested) but it would only look at things like file creation date. Exiftool would be required to sort using the exif data.

In case you're still interested in this, I just wanted to let you know:

I simply went to Paul Harvey's website and downloaded a more recent version of the tool (the .tar.gz file). Then untarred it and renamed the folder to match what is in the source tree of this app, and replaced it.

Then running sortphotos "just worked." Great work @andrewning!

This does fix the problem (and a host of other exif-related problems). Can you please update this some time? thanks

updated. sorry for delay.
