Configurations.java

- Defines environment configurations for the project, ensuring consistent settings across modules - This interface centralizes key parameters for easy access and modification, promoting maintainability and scalability in the codebase architecture.

utils

MetadataExtractorHelper.java	- Enables extraction of metadata from image files, including retrieving all EXIF tags, orientation, timezone, capture date, and GPS information - The code provides methods to access and process various metadata details for a given file, contributing to comprehensive data extraction capabilities within the project's architecture.
TikaHelper.java	- Provides utility functions to extract content type, metadata, and file extension based on file input using Apache Tika library - The `getContentType` method detects the content type of a file, while `getMetadata` retrieves metadata - `getExtention` maps content types to file extensions - These functions enhance file processing capabilities within the project architecture.

mains

AdvancedBulkRename.java	- The code file `AdvancedBulkRename.java` facilitates bulk renaming of files within a specified directory - It iterates through files, extracts metadata, and generates new filenames based on timestamps or parent directory names - The script offers options for recursive processing and customization of the renaming process.
ExtractGpsCoordinates.java	- ExtractGpsCoordinates.java processes directories and files to extract GPS coordinates from images' EXIF data - It recursively navigates directories, reads EXIF tags, and retrieves latitude and longitude information - This functionality aids in geolocating images within the project's architecture.
Mp3FileGroupingDirectory.java	- Reorganizes MP3 files based on album names, creating directories for each album and moving files accordingly - Parses audio file tags to extract album information for directory structuring - Handles various exceptions during the process.
RemoveDirectorySuffix.java	- The code file `RemoveDirectorySuffix.java` integrates directories by removing specified suffixes from their names - It processes subdirectories within a target directory, moving files to new directories with modified names - This functionality streamlines directory organization by eliminating specific suffix patterns.

.github

dependabot.yml

- Automates daily dependency updates for Maven and GitHub Actions, ensuring project dependencies are regularly checked and updated within set limits - Scheduled to run daily at midnight in the Asia/Tokyo timezone, limiting open pull requests to 10 for each ecosystem.

workflows

maven.yml

- Automate Java project builds with Maven using GitHub Actions - Ensure JDK 8 setup, build with Maven, and add labels based on pull request events - Optimize CI/CD workflows for efficient project development and collaboration.
