Notes

• Find files with file names greater than 140 characters (move and archive) or find trailing spaces at the end of a directory name and rewrite the name. Variant with extra logging and a confirmation step to see the list of changes before changing them. Use with caution. Test before using. Always have backups.
• Find photos scripts: get creation date using stat command, make folders and sort or get the creation date from EXIF data, make folders and sort
• Find all R3D files and make ONLY 1 image thumbnail from the r3d files found in a given RDC directory. Requires REDline

• Find shell scripts in the default path and add a header
• Adds header after shebang (#!) if present
• Removes header exactly if --rm is specified
• Skips duplicates
• Preserves timestamps
• Supports dry-run
• Colored output, counters, recursive search, custom file pattern/path
