Hi. I would like to organize my backup of pictures and videos of my iPhone. I've been importing the pictures and videos on my iPhones to my PC for the last decade. Sometimes the import function didn't work as expected and I had to import everything all over again. Long story short, I now have 3 folders:
Folder 1: Old pictures that are in DICM folders. It branches out quite a bit and their names are IMG_0001.
Folder 2: A folder with pictures and videos split into two folders.
Folder 3: Main folder that I want everything to be in. Most of it is right, but I'm sure it is missing the older pictures and videos in Folder 1.
What I'm looking for:
-
I want the pictures and videos to be chronologically placed so I can go through them without interruption.
-
Preferably a program that would look at the 3 folders and create a new folder with all the files organized like 2024-05-28_IMG_0001.
-
Remove duplicates so they don't occupy space unnecessarily. It could check if the file was created at the same time, instead of comparing the files one by one.
What I've done so far:
A slight problem could be that some images are in .HEIC and some videos are in .HEVC format. I don't mind them being in that format as I use ImageGlass to view the pictures and VLC to view the videos.
Extra: I'd appreciate if anybody have a good method of backing up their pictures and videos on their iPhone.
