A few days ago I realized how the long term storage on these images isn't good at all.

Given the images pile up it gets really hard to index the folder for even an "ls" let alone anything else. So now I need to figure out how to script moving the images into a subfolder by YYYYMM. That is roughly 45,000 images even still, but manageable.

Does "find" have a "previous month" option? Not sure of the best way to do this. I do need to automate it though. Maybe I'll even have the script build me a one month time lapse for some of these. Or long term even grab images from the year and build a year in review time lapse. I really like that idea. You know, like noon every day from the year.

Though that is only 365 frames which would make for a very fast video.
