  Description     : Media sorting tool to organize photos and videos from your camera in folders by year, month and day

The software will collect all files from the input directory and copy
them to the output directory without changing the files content. It
will only rename the files and place them in the proper directory for
year, month and day.

All files which are not images or videos or those which do not have
creation date information will be placed in a directory called unknown
without file name change. By doing this you can be sure that the input
directory can be safely deleted after the successful process
completion because all files from the input directory have a copy in
the output directory.

If the target file already exists, its checksum is compared with the
source to determine if it is a duplicate. If the checksums are
different, we do not have a duplicate and the target filename will be
suffixed with a number, for example "-1". If the checksums match, the
copy operation will be skipped.

Debian has Rapid Photo Downloader packaged right now (and I'm one of
the uploaders), but I'm having issues with it at the moment:

 1. it basically crashes under Wayland #1031557
 2. it does not allow me to move images (anymore)
 3. it only partly allows culling images (you can deselect images but
 not delete them)

Right now I've reverted back to using exiftool to batch-import images,
but exiftool is notoriously counter-intuitive and error prone.

This looks like a promising alternative.
