Group and rename image and videos with python

Hello, today I would like to share with you two Python scripts that I used to solve my problem. I had a folder where I randomly kept the pictures I took, and its size was about 100 GB. I didn't even know what was in it anymore. I created a code to group them according to the years and months taken.

If it can use the shooting date of the file, it groups it accordingly; if it cannot find it, it uses the creation date.

The other script, after all these processes are completed, names the files under the grouped folders as 1,2,3 according to the withdrawal date or the creation date.

Both scripts do not touch file extensions.

#arranger.py

import os
from PIL import Image
import shutil
from datetime import datetime

def organize_photos_and_videos(source_directory, target_base_directory):
    for root, dirs, files in os.walk(source_directory):
        for file in files:
            file_path = os.path.join(root, file)
            if file.lower().endswith(('.png', '.jpg', '.jpeg')):
                try:
                    with Image.open(file_path) as img:
                        exif_data = img._getexif()
                        date_taken = exif_data.get(36867) if exif_data else None
                except Exception as e:
                    print(f"Error reading EXIF data for {file}: {e}")
                    date_taken = None
            elif file.lower().endswith(('.mp4', '.avi', '.mov')):
                date_taken = None  # You can add a custom method for video files
            else:
                continue

            # If there is no withdrawal date, use creation date
            if not date_taken:
                creation_time = os.path.getctime(file_path)
                date_taken = datetime.fromtimestamp(creation_time).strftime('%Y:%m:%d %H:%M:%S')

            # Convert date from 'YYYY:MM:DD HH:MM:SS' format to 'YYYY\\MM' format
            date_folder = date_taken[:7].replace(':', '\\')
            type_folder = 'pic' if file.lower().endswith(('.png', '.jpg', '.jpeg')) else 'video'
            target_folder = os.path.join(target_base_directory, date_folder, type_folder)
            if not os.path.exists(target_folder):
                os.makedirs(target_folder)
            shutil.move(file_path, os.path.join(target_folder, file))
            print(f"Moved {file} to {target_folder}")

# Source and destination folder paths
source_directory = 'E:\\pics'
target_base_directory = 'E:\\groupped'
organize_photos_and_videos(source_directory, target_base_directory)
