Show HN: Porte – A tool for fixing a Google Takeout photos export (opens in new tab)

Hi all. I built Porte after exporting my Google Photos archive using Takeout, only to find a jumbled mess of missing EXIF data and .json files with metadata.

There are a few tools out there that try to handle this, but I wasn't able to find any that correctly handled both dates and GPS data, and preserved all other existing EXIF tags.

Porte has worked really well for me, and it was really enjoyable to write. And it made me love Go even more.

This is pretty cool.

I wish there was a tool for exporting all of my Google Takeout stuff - or at least the photos - without needing to download eight separate tarfiles.

(As well as de-duplicating photos - right now, my Takeout is significantly larger than it needs to be due to the same photo in different albums being stored multiple times in the dump.)
