WSDPkeeper (Windows Spotlight Daily Photo keeper)

PowerShell script and batch script for saving photos updated by Windows Spotlight.

Includes:

  • WSDPkeeper.ps1

  • WSDPkeeper.bat

  • WSDPhotoUpdate.bat

Features

  • Differentiating new photos in horizontal and vertical during processing, and then storing them separately

  • Repetition checking. (Only pulling new items)

  • Rename photos with format {H|V}_Windows_Spotlight_{YYYY-MM-DD-hh-mm}_{nnnn}.jpg

Usages

Executing directly

Download the zip file and extract the scripts where you like. (I put them in C:\Users\{username}\Pictures)

Then, execute the batch script WSDPkeeper.bat or the PowerShell script WSDPkeeper.ps1 in PowerShell (Do need to set PowerShell Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned).

The default keeping folders located in:

C:\Users\{username}\Saved Pictures\Horizontal <--for photos H_*.jpg
C:\Users\{username}\Saved Pictures\Vertical   <--for photos V_*.jpg

The batch script include multi lines for executing PowerShell script optionally. You can comment the default line and select the suitable one.

By using Windows Task Scheduler

Go the task properties --> Action tab --> Edit --> Fill up as below:

  1. Action: Start a program
  2. Program/script: path to your batch script e.g. C:\Users\{username}\WSDPkeeper.bat
  3. Add arguments (optional): <if necessary - depending on your script>
  4. Start in (optional): Put the full path to your batch script location e.g. C:\Users\{username}\ (Do not put quotes around Start In)

Then Click OK

It works fine for me. Good Luck!
