Integrating a flag for full Takout file processing

[lukehmcc]

I'm currently maintaining lukehmcc/exif-wrapper and think this automatic handling of takeout files would be very useful for this repo.

Would you be open to a PR to add a new flag like --takeout or something that would automatically decompress, organize, and fix the metadata on takeout files?

Currently this is done via a python script, but I could easily rewrite this in ts.

Not to commandeer anyone else's post, but I do want to jump on the contribution bandwagon here. :-)

I found this repo really helpful for processing my mountain of Google Takeout photos and began utilising the additional script under android-dups but found my use case quite a bit more extensive. You can read my use case on the dev branch of my fork, though it's probably a bit out of date now as I'm still writing and running it.

I didn't want to add something to this repo that might be outside of what is intended here, though I also didn't want to have an instruction like "Go and clone this repo and run this script, then come and clone this repo and run this script", hence the fork. However, I would love to keep it all in the original place if you're open to it.

Uh, mine is also in Python but I can't easily rewrite it in Type Script because I've never used it before, haha.

This is quite cool, I haven't seen it before. Def a different beast you're tackling here though. Typescript isn't too hard if you wanna take a stab at it :p

Sure, why not.

As long as something helps others migrating from Google Photos, it's intended here I guess. So I wouldn't mind if you make a PR and link your work in the README :)

Merging the tools would only make sense if it's all Typescript IMO, then one could call them through separate subcommands.
