media-cli

This package is a pre-release and is still under heavy development

Media Command-Line-Interface (med-cli) Overview

This is a utility for managing local photos and movies for organizing home media. It is targeted towards those of us that do not want to publish all of our photos and home video up to the web.

Target User/Consumer

An engineer (npm user) interested in managing their local family photos and video.

Installation

npm install -g media-cli

Usage

Help is found via med-cli -h but typically you will init a managed folder (where all of the pictures and video will be stored), then import various folders, then review the media for tagging and deletion, then you can use tha managed folder in the future to export organized content by tags or folder names.

For example:

med-cli init /my/big/USB
med-cli import ~/Desktop/photos
med-cli import ~/my/other/USB
med-cli import ~/Desktop/family
med-cli review /my/big/USB

Remaining Todo

• Test and use on Windows
• Release 1.0 (update git commit of bundle.js)
• Merge (a -> b)
• Sync (a <- -> b )
• merge two managed directories
• rename db to yaml
• docs
• youtube videos (howto)
• Dupe review via file name
• reset review (folder/match/etc)
• rotate support
• Re-use last tags
• Rotation
• & support on tag matching
• re-review with filter
• react router for continuing where you left off + direct link?

Contributors

Zach Calvert - That's me. Just a little warning, this is a pet project and fairly hack and slash. If you're a recruiter/hiring manager, this is not my best work and I'm quite cabable of better tested, cleaner, well documented code. This is not enterprise.

Technologies Applied

• Express
• ReactJS
• ES6
• Webpack + babel
• Mocha

Goals

• Support folder and file processing of images and video
• Maintain an "earliest known date" so that you can find duplicate files but track what is the earliest record of that image/file
• Support tagging through a localized browser interface
• Export of tagged people, places, vacations, etc
• Automated tagging when inputting a folder
• Potentially facial recognition (depending on availability of non-cloud upload recognition)
• Eventually attempt to automate picture duplication detection including image rotations and format changes

Local Development

git clone [e-mail]:ZacharyCalvert/picture-script-js.git
cd ./picture-script-js
npm run build
npm install -g
npm link
med-man -h

Release Execution

Travis CLI will execute npm publish on repository tags. To run a patch release, run

npm run rel

which will build, test, patch bump, tag git repo, and push the tag to github.
