Ubuntu :: Find / Sort And Produce List Of Files (Photos)
Sep 11, 2010
I have hard drive with several thousand photos. These photos are in different formats, some are tif some jpg some raw (cr2). These files are in dozens of directories. What I want to do is produce a list of all the files, in all of the directories, sorted by the file name (not sorting on the path), listing the location, file name, size and date created.
For instance I may have a file called photo1.jpg in /photos/pics/
I may also have a file called photo1.cr2 in /photos/misc/ and a file called photo1.tif in /photos/processed/summer/.
I would like a text file that would look like this:
/photos/misc/photo1.cr2 2536658 2010-07-09 13:17
/photos/pics/photo1.jpg 320046 2010-07-07 14:47
/photos/processed/summer/photo1.tif 234456689 2010-07-10 09:22
Of course I want it to do this for all of the photos. I pretty sure that there is a way to do this with a minimum amount of work. I have no problem with using the command line.

what i wanted to do was find all the files with a specific name from a tree, sort them by modification time and have their directory appended to them so that i knew where they were (because they all have the same name). i tried a whole bunch of different things and finally did this:
Code:
find . -type f -name world.sav -exec ls -l '{}' ; > ~/dfsaves.txt; gawk '{$1=""; $2=""; $3=""; $4=""; $5=""; print}' ~/dfsaves.txt | sort -n > ~/dfsavessorted.txt
this did the trick pretty well, but as you can see it is far from elegant and i think i'm doing some things wrong and kludgy
first thing i tried was "ls -lRt | grep world.sav" which worked except i couldnt distinguish the files because there were no directories. that took a lot of looking till i accepted i couldnt make ls print directories as well and append them to the files somehow that their relationship would be clear. i tried piping ls to find, doing it in reverse, passing them from grep etc. etc. until i read some more stuff online that got me using gawk and sort. the questions:
1. is there some other, more elegant and simple way to do this kind of detection and sorting?
2. is there any way to use a pipe after using exec? the semicolon seems to prevent this entirely, forcing me to use an intermediate file as above. i could just remove it later, but i'd prefer a straight piping.

I know I can do find . -type f, but that includes binary file and I couldn't find a way to exclude them with find

I just imported a large set of photos into Shotwell on Ubuntu. The popup on completion says:
Quote:
Import Complete
749 duplicate photos/videos were not imported:
[path]/[filename]
[path]/[filename]
[path]/[filename]
[path]/[filename]
(and 745 more)
How can I get a full list of the 749 photos and videos that were not imported?

How to find and list files and directories present the current directory which were created in, say, years 2005, 2006, and 2009 and then move them to some other location, for example, /backup. Yes, I need to list them and move simultaneously. We can use:
Code:
find . -mtime n {};
but that n is troublesome for me to figure out files/directories created in years 2005, 2006, and 2009, for instance. Is there any way to match exactly by Year Value rather than calulating the "n" (days * 24 Hours)?
System Info:
SunOS 5.8 Generic_117350-06 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-Enterprise

I use find / -name myfile to search files. But it will print out a very long list such as follow:
Code:
...
find: /var/empty/sshd: Permission denied
find: /etc/audit: Permission denied
find: /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crl: Permission denied
find: /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt: Permission denied

I need to delete all *.trc files that are older than 30 days and I am getting a "Argument list too long" error. There are other files that should not be deleted which is why I am using the "*.trc" and newer files need to be kept as well. I have seen other postings but they do not cover both of the conditions. Below are 2 of the many attempts at doing this but I cannot get this to work.
find *.trc -mtime +31 -print| xargs rm -f {}
find *.trc -mtime +31 -print -exec rm -f {} ;

I recently bought a new laptop. compaq presario CQ41 109AU. It does not come with a pre-installed OS so i've decided to put an Ubuntu on it[karmic koala 9.10]. I successfully completed the installation procedures. however, it does not produce sound when loggin in and playing music files. I gone to look if the settings where put to mute, but they were not. I tried installing a MS Vista in the other partition and the sound worked.

I do monthly reports by copying the previous document, update the text and change the images. The images are the same size and numbers each months. Since last month I upgraded my laptop to Natty and suddenly my document went from 942 kB to 10.1 MB in .odt. When saving to PDF the usual size of 472 went up to 1.9 MB. I have searched the net and the forums but haven't seen anything about a similar issue.
I'm not sure if it's an issue that is from the previous document being produced in Open Office and now updated and saved in Libreoffice. Or if it's somehow something to do with the upgrade from Maverick to Natty. I would hope I don't have to uninstall Libreoffice and install Open Office as a solution (which I understand is not entirely easy in Natty, something I read about Open Office being transitional to Libre). I can't email simple documents to customers that's over 10 MB large...

I had a data structure like this:
I sort the list like this:
I think the logic is correct, maybe just some details.
Now my question is
1) Can I simply merge node1 and 2 without sorting? Like node_list1.merge(node_list2);
2) If not, how can I copy list1 and 2 into list3?

I need a script that will take all the files in a given directory and create new monthly sub-directories and sort all the files based on the creation date into the appropriate directory.For example, all files created between 01/01/09 and 01/31/09 will be placed in 'JAN-2009'

I am trying to install a piece of software that uses an install.pl script which looks to /usr/src/linux/include/ for my kernel headers...but it never finds them or that directory/link.
I've run "yum install kernel-devel kernel-headers" so I am pretty sure they are installed.
My "rpm -qa | grep kernel" returns code...
What am I missing?

so I was wondering how I could do a simple find which would order the results by most recently modified. Here is the current fine I am using. (I am doing a shell escape in php, so that is the reasoning for the variables. find '$dir' -name '$str'* -print | head -10
How could I have this order the search by most recently modified. (Note I do not want it to sort 'after' the search, but rather find the results based on what was most recently modified)

yast2 matched nothing when I typed "iSCSI" in it. Can anybody give a help? My desktop is Dell precision T3500 workstation, it is installed with SLED 10.0, then for some software installation, I update its kernel to SLED 11(2.6.7). I see in many forum yast should be able to install iSCSI initiator very easy, but this doesn't work for me.

I'm trying to make another file annotation script a little speedier than it has been by the up-until-now proven method of checking the last four characters in a filename before the "dot" (eg .jpg, .psd) against a list of known IPTC categories and Exiv2 command files. It occurred to me that if one script generated a list of files in directory foo, and the same or another script sorted that list by that four-letter tag,then that list could be used(instead of a for/do/done loop on the real files in the folder) by the command-file-matching script to "vomit out" which annotator file would go with file nastynewfile.jpg, f'r'instance. The script I had been using for this task looks like this:
Code:
while read 'line';
do
sp=$(echo $line)
vc=$(echo $sp | cut -d"," -f1)
cv=$(echo $sp | cut -d"," -f2)
[code]....
Where I seem to be stuck is with how to sort the lines in templist, which may be any number of different lengths, from back to front. sort -k looked promising, except it seems only to work the other way round. I thought of invoking a
Code:
q=$(expr length $line); echo $q
n=$[q-8]; echo $n
kind of thing, but that presented the problems of how to sort by those, how to tell sort where to find them (grep?) and how to "stitch them back in" to the original list, which is what I want to sort in the first place.

i currently have hundreds of files all in a single directory. What I would like to do is create 8 subdirectories and move the files into the subdirectories based on the first character of the file name. Ideally, the script would omit any 'the' or 'a' and use the second word for filing purposes. No filenames have spaces. Instead they use periodsThe subdirectories will be:
0-9
a-d
e-h

I have some files, named E000.svg, E001.svg, E002.svg, ... E07D.svg, E07E.svg, E07F.svg . When I open them in Nautilus, and choose the option Sort Alphabetically, they are sorted:
E000.svg
E00A.svg
E00B.svg
E00C.svg
E00D.svg
E00E.svg
E00F.svg
E001.svg
E01A.svg
E01B.svg
and so on.
This is totally useless for me, so I searched for a solution in Google, and found lots of bug reports. It looks like it's a 'feature' for sorting 10 after 9; but clearly they have forgot that many people don't like or don't need that option. Thinking it was a Nautilus thing, I installed Thunar, but it has the exact useless algorithm. And then I installed PCManFM, but it's also the same. If I can install a file manager that correctly sorts my files? Or will I need to switch to Windows to have it fixed? (not joking here, Windows Explorer doesn't suffer from this feature).

I recovered some 60,000 files with PhotoRec and need a script to sort them into individual folders based on extension. I was able to do this once before but cannot find the script again (sad thing is that I probably saved it on another HD that I'm having partition issues with, but that's another story....).I found this script:
Code:
#!/bin/dash
mkdir "$1"
for file in *.$1; do
mv "$file" "$1"
done
While it does work, I am not looking forward to going through all 132 folders and typing in each extension. The last time I did it, the folder was automatically created based on the extension(s) found.
