Script to get rid of album art in photos

Disclaimer: I am not sure that all albums retain their art. Most of mine didn't have anyway, but those that I remeber having album art still have after applying the script and rebuilding tracker db. (rebuilding the db is NOT required I just did it for testing purposes)

Code:

#!/bin/sh

flag=0

#Recursively rename AlbumArt Files 

find MyDocs/.sounds/ -name AlbumArt* | while read FILE 

do 

flag=1

NEW=`echo $FILE | sed -e 's/AlbumArt/.AlbumArt/'`

echo "renaming $FILE to $NEW"

mv "$FILE" "$NEW"

done



find MyDocs/.sounds/ -name folder.jpg | while read FILE 

do 

flag=1

NEW=`echo $FILE | sed -e 's/folder/.folder/'`

echo "renaming $FILE to $NEW"

mv "$FILE" "$NEW"

done



if [ $flag -eq 0 ]

then 

echo "no files found" 

fi

Maybe you need another block for Folder.jpg, maybe it's better to hide all jpg's in .sounds. This did most of the trick for me, I'll do the rest by hand, if you make any changes post back.

edit: the script doesn't delete anything, it just recursively makes AlbumArtblahblah and folder.jpg's hidden

Geez, this is good. I need one to hide all the Starcraft and Warcraft II tilesets! But good work.

Re: Script to get rid of album art in photos

This was my version:

Code:

#!/bin/sh

MUSICDIR="/home/user/MyDocs/Music"

find "${MUSICDIR}" -iname *.jpg -o -iname *.jpeg | while IFS="" read FILE; do 

   DIRNAME=`dirname "${FILE}"`

   LASTPART=`echo "${DIRNAME}" | awk -F '/' '{print $NF}'`

   if [ "${LASTPART}" != ".mediaartlocal" ]; then

      if [ "$1" = "-d" ]; then  

         echo "${FILE} will be moved to ./mediaartlocal/"

      else

         echo "Moving ${FILE} -> ./mediaartlocal/"

         if [ ! -d "${DIRNAME}/.mediaartlocal/" ]; then

            mkdir "${DIRNAME}/.mediaartlocal/" 

         fi 

         mv "${FILE}" "${DIRNAME}/.mediaartlocal/"

      fi

   fi

done

Which does pretty much the same. You can run it with a '-d' option to simulate a dry-run (ie it won't change/move anything)

Re: the above, some of my album art files are in .png format.

Can you change

Code:

find "${MUSICDIR}" -iname *.jpg -o -iname *.jpeg etc

to include

Code:

-iname *.png

? And any other file types?

You can do whatever you like with the script!

You can have as many "-name *.xxx" parameters as you need with the find command...
