Wacheee/GooglePhotosTakeoutHelper v3.6.2-wacheee

on GitHub

Previous fixes and improvement (from 3.4.3-wacheee to 3.6.1-wacheee)

• fixed an exception when using GPTH with command-line arguments #5 #8
• the "fix JSON metadata files" option can now be configured using command-line arguments #7 #9
• if shortcut option is selected, shortcut creation will be 10 times faster on Windows platforms (new creation method that avoids using PowerShell). For more details: TheLastGimbus#390
• fixed issues with folder names containing emojis 💖🤖🚀on Windows TheLastGimbus#389
• added an interactive option to update the creation times of files in the output folder to match their last modified times at the end of the program (only on Windows) TheLastGimbus#371
• if a media is not in a year folder it establishes one from an album to move it to ALL_PHOTOS correctly. This will move the original media file directly from the album (or one of those albums) to ALL_PHOTOS and create a shortcut in the output album folder (if shortcut option is selected) TheLastGimbus#261
• added support for moving or copying files with the following extensions to the output folder: .MP, .MV, .DNG, and .CR2 TheLastGimbus#381 TheLastGimbus#324 TheLastGimbus#180 TheLastGimbus#271
• added an interactive option to convert Pixel Motion Photo files (.MP or .MV) to .mp4
• added an option to remove the "supplemental-metadata" suffix from JSON to prevent issues with metadata TheLastGimbus#353 TheLastGimbus#355
• fixed shortcut issue on Windows platforms TheLastGimbus#248
• added more options for date-based folders [year, month, day] TheLastGimbus#238 (based in this commit More granular date folders #299)
• added reverse-shortcut option, now you can mantain original photo in album folders and create a shortcut in year albums

Limitations (previous fixes):

• if album mode is set to duplicate-copy, it will move the album photos to the album folder (as usual), but ALL_PHOTOS will not contain them if the media is not in a year album.
• it does not fix issues related to reading JSON files (if necessary) for Motion Photo files; however, if the dates are included in the file name (as with Pixel Motion Photos), the correct dates will be established.
