post export repair of photo filenames from f-spot
12:41 am
For some reason I've never worked out, the default behaviour when you export photos from F-Spot just by themselves, is to resolve collisions by appending -x, where x is a sequence number. The problem with appending something is that the shell (and thus, practically all scripts) won't sort them in the order they were taken. The solution would seem to instead prefix the sequence number. I don't know why F-spot doesn't do this. Attempting to look into it would require a C# toolchain (which creates sufficient stop energy for me to be bothered). Instead I've written a shell script. It turns 00001-1.jpg into 100001.jpg.

In other, less exciting news. Handed out the first of our wedding invites today. Have another 30 completely ready to post, and some number still remaining to go into envelopes. Hopefully my Django-based RSVP system holds up.
