Manual

Single file usage:

DEST_DIR=/DESTINATION/DIR ./sortfiles-exif.sh FILE.EXT

---

Batch usage:

DEST_DIR=/DESTINATION/DIR find /ORIGIN/DIR -type f -exec /sortfiles-exif.sh {} \;

Legal! Brincando com a parte da captura dos dados:

# Monta um vetor com a saída de 'exiv2'...
data=($(awk '{                                        \
    if ($0 ~ /^File name/)       file = $4;           \
    if ($0 ~ /^Camera model/)    cam = $4;            \
    if ($0 ~ /^Image timestamp/) timestamp = $4" "$5  \
}                                                     \
END {                                                 \
    print file, cam, timestamp                        \
}' <<< "$EXIF_DATA"))

# A data e a hora vêm dos índices 2 e 3...
date=(${data[2]//:/ } ${data[3]//:/ })

# Definindo as variáveis com expansões...
FILE_EXTENSION=${data[0]##*.} # extensão
DEVICE_NAME=${data[1]}        # device
FILE_YEAR=${date[0]}          # ano
FILE_MONTH=${date[1]}         # mês
FILE_DAY=${date[2]}           # dia
FILE_HOUR=${date[3]}          # hora
FILE_MINUTE=${date[4]}        # minuto
FILE_SECOND=${date[5]}        # segundos

Não sei se o padrão da saída é sempre o mesmo, mas foi o que eu deduzi pelos seus cut.

@debxp Quase um ano depois estou começando a realizar testes com sua maravilhosa sugestão, assim que tiver resultados sólidos atualizarei o script. Muito obrigado mesmo! <3
