   1 # photosorter
   2
   3 A personal tool for monitoring for new photos synced from a phone via SyncThing and placing them into the real photos directory automatically.
   4
   5 Each photo's modification time is used to determine the year it was taken and it is copied to `${target}/${year}/${filename}`.
   6
   7 A cache of seen files is maintained in `~/.cache` so that files which are deleted from the target directory are not re-copied.
