Add option to create file listing all albums contents

[dlang123]

Summary

Since I can't have icloudpd download all the pictures into the proper albums to maintain the albums, can we have an option to at least save out a listing of all images in all albums (maybe with the date the image was taken for deduplication puporses).

Context

This file would allow me to recreate my icloud albums on any photo service, although it might require a few scripts and maybe some folder duplication and such, but would be a good start.

Hi!
Had this same issue today and wrote a little script which was able to get this done for me.

#!/bin/bash

# Define the directory for the configuration and credentials
CONFIG_MOUNT_DIR=""
ICLOUD_USERNAME=""
ICLOUD_PASSWORD=""

# Initialize Auth file and mount it
docker run -it --rm --name icloudpd -v ${CONFIG_MOUNT_DIR}:/root/.pyicloud -e TZ=Europe/Berlin icloudpd/icloudpd:latest icloudpd --auth-only --username ${ICLOUD_USERNAME} --password ${ICLOUD_PASSWORD}

# Get list of all Albums
ALBUMS=$(docker run -it --rm --name icloudpd -v ${CONFIG_MOUNT_DIR}:/root/.pyicloud -e TZ=Europe/Berlin icloudpd/icloudpd:latest icloudpd --list-albums  --username ${ICLOUD_USERNAME} --password ${ICLOUD_PASSWORD})

# Extract album names starting after "Albums:", remove carriage returns
ALBUM_NAMES=$(echo "$ALBUMS" | awk '/Albums:/{flag=1;next}flag' | tr -d '\r')

echo "List of Albums:"
echo "$ALBUM_NAMES"

# Iterate over each album name
echo "$ALBUM_NAMES" | while read -r album; do
    # All albums except All Photos
    if [[ -n "$album" ]] && [[ "$album" != "All Photos" ]]; then
        echo "Processing album: $album"
        # Run the icloudpd command for the current album and get all filenames with dates
        docker run --rm --name icloudpd -v ${CONFIG_MOUNT_DIR}:/root/.pyicloud -e TZ=Europe/Berlin icloudpd/icloudpd:latest icloudpd --directory / --album "${album}"  --username ${ICLOUD_USERNAME} --password ${ICLOUD_PASSWORD} --only-print-filenames | while read -r line; do
            echo "Logged ${line} to ${album}.log"  # Display message on console
            echo "${line}" >> "${album}.log"  # Log the filename to the album log
        done
    fi
done

This saves all filenames and dates to a file for each album.

Thought I'd share it with you since it might be helpful to you too :)
