| ## Works with the Google Takeout format from 2021 and later, in which | |
| ## items are all in a single directory (no timestamp necessarily in file | |
| ## or directory names), but JSON files contain Unix timestamps, and you | |
| ## want a directory hierarchy of the form "YYYY/MM/DD". | |
| ## | |
| ## You must start with all items in a folder called `undated`, and run this | |
| ## script from its parent. A folder called `dated` will then be created with | |
| ## the "YYYY/MM/DD" hierarchy within it. This will leave all files which we | |
| ## cannot sort in the `undated` directory for you to sort yourself. | |
