PhotoManager.Core

License Language Last Commit NuGet Downloads

Core library for photo organization and management with metadata-driven sorting, duplicate handling, and flexible import strategies.

Overview

This library provides the core functionality for photo organization, including:

  • 🔍 Metadata extraction from image files (EXIF, GPS, filesystem)
  • 🎯 Smart date detection from multiple sources with reliability scoring
  • 📁 File organization with configurable folder structure patterns
  • 🔄 Duplicate handling with multiple resolution strategies (Smart/Rename/Skip/Overwrite)
  • 📊 Progress reporting and detailed operation results

Installation

dotnet add package PhotoManager.Core

Key Components

Models

  • FileToImport - Represents a file to be processed with metadata extraction capabilities
  • ImportSettings - Configuration for import operations
  • ImportResult - Results and statistics from import operations

Services

  • ImportManager - Main orchestration service for file imports
  • DateTimeParser - Parses dates from filenames using various patterns
  • FileOrganizer - Handles file movement and path generation

Interfaces

  • IImportManager - Contract for import operations
  • IDateTimeParser - Contract for date parsing
  • IFileOrganizer - Contract for file organization

Enums

  • DateTimeSource - Identifies the source of extracted dates

Dependencies

  • MetadataExtractor (2.8.1) - For reading EXIF and other metadata

Usage Example

using PhotoManager.Core.Services;
using PhotoManager.Core.Models;

var importManager = new ImportManager();
var settings = new ImportSettings {
    SourceDirectory = new DirectoryInfo(@"C:\Photos\Input"),
    DestinationDirectory = new DirectoryInfo(@"C:\Photos\Organized"),
    Recursive = true,
    DryRun = false
};

var progress = new Progress<ImportProgress>(p => {
    Console.WriteLine($"Processing: {p.CurrentFileName} ({p.PercentComplete:F1}%)");
});

var result = await importManager.ProcessDirectoryAsync(settings, progress);
Console.WriteLine($"Processed {result.SuccessfullyProcessed} of {result.TotalFiles} files");

Date Detection Algorithm

The library uses a sophisticated algorithm to determine the most probable creation date:

  1. Extracts dates from multiple sources
  2. Filters out invalid/default dates
  3. Applies reliability scoring
  4. Returns the most reliable date

Reliability Scores

  • GPS: 50
  • EXIF SubIFD: 40
  • EXIF IFD0: 30
  • Filename: 20
  • File Modified: 10
  • File Created: 1
