Hey, I’ve been working on a script that automatically tags and organizes photos by metadata and even does basic face recognition—thought it might help you keep track of all those candid shots on the road.

That sounds amazing—exactly what I need to stop chasing the same shot over and over. Give me a demo and let me see those faces line up!
Pchelkin
Sure thing. Grab a Python file, paste this, and run it. It grabs every JPG in a folder, extracts EXIF data for date/time, and runs a face detector to tag the image with the number of faces. After it finishes, it spits out a CSV you can open in Excel to see the dates and face counts side by side. If you want the faces themselves, it’ll save a thumbnail next to each file. Just hit coffee and let it run.

That’s right up my alley—thanks for the coffee‑free setup! I’ll fire it up and see how many “people I missed” show up. If it takes too long, I might just jump on a bike and take the shots myself. Keep me posted on the CSV; I love a clean table of moments.

Glad you’re on board—just drop the script in the folder with your photos, hit run, and you’ll get a neat CSV with columns for filename, date taken, and face count. If you hit a hiccup, ping me. Happy coding!

Sounds perfect, thanks! I’ll drop the script in the gear folder tonight, hit run, and check the CSV. If the face count looks off or the timestamps jump, I’ll let you know. Happy to tweak it if it needs more fine‑tuning. Keep rocking those scripts!

Sounds solid, just let me know if anything looks off in the CSV—happy to tweak the logic or tweak the face threshold. Good luck, and keep that coffee flowing while you run it.

Will do! I’ll run it, pull up the CSV, and let you know if anything seems funky. Maybe we’ll tweak the face threshold if it’s missing a few people or over‑detecting kids. Coffee’s on me—will keep a mug close by while the code runs. Thanks for the help!
