Script to organize Nintendo Switch screenshots by game title instead of date.

Written by Renan Greca in 2017. This code is free to distribute and alter.

./organize_screenshots

or

python organize_screenshots.py

Linux

About the game IDs

Switch screenshots are stored in the following format: [timestamp]-[game id].jpg. Therefore, we can use the filenames to figure out which game it was from.

For example, the screenshot 2017030619573600-F1C11A22FAEE3B82F21B330E1B786A39.jpg was taken on March 6, 2017 in the game The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Some titles may have more than one ID, depending on the region or version. Demos also have their own IDs.

The Switch UI contains multiple IDs, for different parts of the UI (home menu, friends list, system settings, etc.). For simplicity, I've labeled all those IDs as "Nintendo Switch".

The game_ids.json file follows this format:

{
  "F1C11A22FAEE3B82F21B330E1B786A39": "The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild",
  "16851BE00BC6068871FE49D98876D6C5": "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe"
}

Contributing

The initial version of game_ids.json contains only the titles I have played. If you have a screenshot for a game that is not on this list, the program will output a warning telling you which screenshot it was.

You may manually add the ID to the game_ids.json file, but it would be greatly appreciated if you could submit an issue request on GitHub detailing the ID that was not found and which game and region the screenshot is from.
