feat: Google Takeout sidecar JSON metadata merger - #61
Conversation
Parse legacy and supplemental-metadata sidecar JSON files to fill missing DateTimeOriginal and GPS on JPEGs before culling. Move or remove sidecar files when images are rejected or kept, respectively. Closes #5 Co-authored-by: Derek Roberts <DerekRoberts@users.noreply.github.com>

Oh wait, this part is well thought out. I need to sit down. 💀 Worst part: The unguarded JSON parse. Every other per-image path in this file catches its exceptions and logs-and-continues; this one lets a single corrupt sidecar abort 10,000 photos of culling before the first image is even scored. 📊 Overall: Like a Google Maps detour — the destination is right, but you'll lose some data if you take the wrong exit.

derives the sidecar filename from the final renamed image dest.name rather than
sidecar.name, and apply collision handling consistently to the image-and-sidecar
pair so both retain the same basename.
- Around line 946-949: Update the EXIF merge logic around the datetime and GPS
presence checks to handle each sidecar-derived tag independently: only assign
DateTime, DateTimeOriginal, DateTimeDigitized, latitude, longitude, their
references, and altitude when that specific EXIF tag is missing. Remove grouped
gating based on either datetime or coordinate presence, while allowing
unavailable source values to remain unset and preserving existing EXIF values.
- Line 1410: Update the pre-scan merge loop in run_cull so errors from
merge_takeout_metadata, including sidecar parsing and piexif.insert failures,
are caught per image, reported, and do not abort processing of the remaining
image_paths. Preserve the merged count for successful merges and allow the
ThreadPoolExecutor scan to start even when individual metadata merges fail.

image_cull.py:1225
- In the normal analysis path this cleanup call is outside the surrounding per-image exception handler. If
unlink()fails because the input directory is read-only or the sidecar disappears during processing, the exception escapesprocess_imageandexecutor.mapaborts the whole batch after the image has already been classified. Make sidecar cleanup best-effort by catching and loggingOSError, as is done for rejected-image moves.
remove_takeout_sidecar(img_path)
image_cull.py:874
- This fallback lets
find_takeout_sidecar('photo(3).jpg')selectphoto.jpg.jsonwhen the duplicate-specific sidecar is absent. That is the unmarked image's sidecar, so processing the duplicate can merge, delete, or move metadata belonging tophoto.jpg; do not fall back to the unmarked variant for duplicate-marked media.

In `@image_cull.py`:
- Around line 1029-1030: Update the metadata merge exception handling near the
per-image merge logic so unexpected import, timestamp, dump, and insertion
failures remain distinguishable from a normal False result. Prefer propagating
those exceptions to the per-image handler so the existing reporting at the
caller can record them, while preserving the batch’s per-image failure
isolation.
- Around line 988-991: Update the EXIF handling around piexif.load so an
InvalidImageDataError, ValueError, or OSError aborts the metadata merge instead
of assigning an empty EXIF dictionary. Preserve both the original image and
sidecar unchanged on load failure, and only call the later piexif.insert path
when EXIF loading succeeds.
- Around line 951-952: Update the altitude conversion in the result-building
flow around result["altitude"] to reject non-finite float values such as NaN and
Infinity immediately after conversion, before storing the altitude. Handle these
values through the existing invalid-altitude path so valid timestamp and
coordinate updates are preserved.

898-905: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
find_takeout_sidecarconsiders the extensionless-stem sidecar during metadata merging, butmove_rejectdisables that candidate withfor_move=True. Thus a sidecar found for an image during normal processing can be left in the source directory when that image is filtered. Use the same candidate set for the move lookup so every supported sidecar follows its rejected image.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
