A Python Photo and Video batch renaming and organising tool. Pavo is also Spanish for Turkey!
I couldn't find a simple tool to quickly rename and organise photo and video files taken on my GoPro and other cameras, so I made one, using the free version of Claude AI and some limited knowledge of Python.
The tool allows the user to select a directory via a GUI and rename files, adding date and time taken. I intend to add a few other features but it's mainly designed for my own use.
After starting the Script, browse to the folder which contains the files you wish to rename via the 'Browse' button.
Scan files - reveals the folder contents with existing file names:
The text box 'Custom Name' allows the user to create a meaningful name for the files e.g. 'USholidayDay1'. The tool will add date taken and time taken to each file name.
Use the 'Preview Changes' button to see how the new naming structure will look.
The final step is to rename the files. A success window will pop up once complete.
Ive added a second tab to the gui to allow folder creation and organisation. Once files are successfully renamed you might want to further group them. The 'File Organisation' Tab helps with this
Use 'Browse' to select the folder to organise.
Checkbox selectable options include: Seperate by date - you may want to create individual folders for each day
Seperate by session - you may have a group of files taken during one time period and another later, which you want to seperate - the time gap is adjustable via the 'Time gap for new session (minutes)'' slider.
'Seperate photos and videos' is also an option.
Once organisation options are selected the files can again be analysed, the organisation previewed and applied. This still might need some work so use with caution - no undo button yet!
