Renaming Files Base On The File Structure

I have a directory structure containing folders and files: dir/dir/dir/file1.jpg dir/dir/dir/file2.jpg dir/dir/dir/file3.jpg dir/dir/dir/dir/file1.jpg dir/dir/dir/dir/file2.jpg dir

Solution 1:

EDITED Try this:

import os
import shutil

wd = r'C:\Users\Gerrit\Documents\gygaia\Python_scripts\Photos'deffile_mover():
  for path, dirs, files in os.walk(wd):
    for file in files:
      if file.endswith(".jpg"):
        src = os.path.join(path, file)
        #Assuming 'Photos_mirror' folder is in folder which images are located
        dst = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), "Photos_mirror")
        ifnot os.path.exists(dst): #Checks 'Photos_mirror' folder exists otherwise creates
          os.makedirs(dst)
        new_name = src.replace(wd+'\\', '').replace('\\', '_')
        new_dst = os.path.join(dst, new_name)
        ifnot os.path.isfile(new_dst):
          shutil.copy(src, dst)
          old_dst = os.path.join(dst, file)
          #Assuming your /dir/dir/... structure is inside of your working directory (wd)
          os.rename(old_dst, new_dst)
        else:
          continue

file_mover()

Solution 2:

You could use pathlib.Path to simplify most of this

I could not test this, but something like this should work

from pathlib import Path
import shutil

start_path = Path(<start_dir>) 
dest_dir = Path(<dest_dir>)

for file in start_path.glob('**/*.jpg'):
    new_name = dest_dir.joinpath('_'.join(file.parts))
    print('renaming %s to %s' % (str(file), str(new_name)))
    # file.rename(new_name)  # move# shutil.copy(file, new_name) # copy, newer python# shutil.copy(str(file), str(new_name)) # copy, older python 

Remove the correct # when the test succeeds
