USAGE = "exif_redater.py\n\tredate .jpg/.jpeg files according to EXIF data"

"""
Iterates through a directory, reading the EXIF data from each jpg/jpeg file.
Parses the date/time from EXIF data and:
1. if it differs from file modification date/time then changes file date/time
2. moves file to YYYY/YYYY_MM_DD directory
