Original subject: Sometimes you have to love Microsoft. Then I came to my senses.
I'm freshly returned from vacation. Had four SD cards with photos loaded.
for each card
insert
mount
mv /run/media/*/*/*/*JPG /srv/photo/trip_du_jour
After that was done I discovered the camera I was using reset the file name counter every time I swapped SD cards.
Oops.
Big oops.
Ah, but SD cards use FAT32
FAT32, doesn't delete files in any real sense. It just marks their space as available. Undeletion is semi-trivial.
Saved by the filesystem!
