not reading exif data from cr3 files #278

Closed SeeThruHead closed 11 months ago

SeeThruHead commented 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. i would like to organize my photos by camera model and date taken but organize is unable to read exif data from cr3 files (not sure about other photo extensions)

Describe the solution you'd like should read exif data from all photo types

Describe alternatives you've considered could use created at date, and assume cr3 files are generated by a single camera model (not accurate)

Hi, thanks for reporting! I found cr3 is neither supported by pillow nor by exifread. It would be great if we could use something like Phil Harvey's exiftool.

I just released v3 with exiftool support. Install the tool from exiftool.org and set an environment variable ORGANIZE_EXIFTOOL_PATH="exiftool" pointing to the executable. Then organize uses exiftool under the hood and supports nearly all the image formats 🚀
