Anyone knows a good desktop app to organize photo like Picasa that works for Windows/Linux/OSX?
Specifically there are a few things I like from Picasa:
1. Import files to folder based on picture dates
e.g.: c:\pictures\2016-02-12\P0221314.jpg
2. Import videos from mobile devices and display in the right orientation
for example: I have mobile devices and I take movies in different orientation: vertical or horizontal, while the actual file's metadata is left unchanged, Picasa knows the _right_ orientation and will adjust the playback accordingly.
3. Handles upload from different devices
I have a Lumix GF1 and iPod. Importing pictures to Picasa is super easy without any 3rd-party integration/interruption (e.g.: doesn't have to copy from device to a temporary folder first but instead import directly from the device to the dated folder).
I have some scripts on github I use to organize photos on my hdd. It doesn't fix orientation, but it does a decent job of putting things in the right directories.
On Windows, the default photo importer allows you to import and name files in a variety of ways. I personally keep the file name from the device, and the importer places it in a dated folder, based on date taken, rather than date imported.
It also deals automatically with orientation of videos and photos based off the Exif data.
