== Move Nested Files to Flat Date Structure ==

Just like in the [[Organize music files]] article, you might need to organize your Photo files. Let's say you use [[Shotwell]] to organize your files on import, but inadvertently switch the structure of imported files from YYYY-MM-DD to YYYY/MM/DD Big difference. How do you quickly move hundreds of files from the latter to the former structure?

find /home/greg/Pictures/2017/ -type f | grep --perl-regex -v '/\.' | sed 's%/home/greg/Pictures/2017/\([0-9][0-9]\)/\([0-9][0-9]\).*%mkdir -p "/home/greg/Pictures/2017-\1-\2" \&\& mv "&" "/home/greg/Pictures/2017-\1-\2/"%'
