# About
This rather small scripts written in [Perl](https://perl.org) provide useful function for managing (raw and output) files for photographers.

## usage 
Simply clone the repo or manually download the scripts from https://src.clttr.info/rwa/photo-helpers/

To run the script, open a shell and invoke `perl <script>`, on most systems it should be sufficient to just invoke `script` (after you granted execute-permissions to the script).

#### prerequisites for running the pure scripts

- Perl 5.30 (or newer)

Additionally the following perl modules need to be installed:

- Cwd
- File::Basename
- File::Copy
- File::HomeDir
- File::Spec::Functions
- File::Find::Rule
- File::Find

# ART helper scripts
Helper scripts to manage files which where handled by [ART](https://clttr.info/art), the easy-to-use RAW converter forked from RawTherapee.

## processed file mover
Filename: `afm`

Moves all already converted raw files and their corresponding jpegs to a given folder.

# generic scripts

## JpegDivider
Filename: `jd`

Moves all jpeg files (suffixes .jpg and .jpeg) in the given folder or the current working directory to the subfolder JPEG (or the given subfolder).

# Silkypix helper scripts
Helper scripts to manage the sidecar data files created by [Silkypix Developer Studio](https://clttr.info/silkypix).

Silkypix usually uses a folder structure similar to this example:

```
base folder
|_ RAW0001.DNG
|_ RAW0002.DNG
|_ JPEG
   |_ RAW0001.jpg
   |_ RAW0002.tif
|_ SILKYPIX_DS
   |_ RAW0001.DNG.10.spd
   |_ RAW0002.DNG.10.spd
   |_ RAW0003.DNG.10.spf
```

## orphaned sidecar cleaner
Filename: `sposc`

Deletes all sidecar files in the given directory or alternatively in the current working directory when the associated raw file is missing.

## multiversion sidecar cleaner 
Filename: `spmvsc`

Deletes Silkypix Sidecar files when newer versions of the files are available. This usually happens when a file is opened in a newer version of Silkypix, as the sidecar files are version specific.
