============================================================
DigicaMerge is a command line tool to merge directories of pictures
taken with digital cameras.
If you've got a digital camera, your hard disk probably contains
many directories full of pictures all named with the same names.
This utility allows you to merge such directories' contents into a
new directory, and renames all the pictures on the fly, ensuring no
filename clash will occur.
You can define your own naming scheme, and also specify a pattern to
select only certain files. You can also launch post-processing
commands which have access to many preset environment variables
giving you full control over filesystem interaction.
Of course, digicamerge is not limited to picture files, you
can use it as successfully with any directory containing files
named from a regular pattern.
============================================================
