How to list only JPEG files from root below using the command line?
3 answers
I have an old disorganized repository of files in a directory. I would like to move solely the images files to a new directory for archival purposes. The problem is that in this directory I have a mixture of multiple different types of files, including videos and movies. In addition, I have multiple types of images. Many of the images have no extension and I would like to move only the "jpeg" images to the new repository, so I can organize the jpeg files in a folder for its type. How can I do this?

You can use the command find as follows:
find . -type f -exec sh -c 'file --mime-type "$0" | grep -q image/jpeg$ && printf "$0n"' ; -exec mv -t 'path_to_new_folder' +
This command will find jpeg files without extensions then move these files to a new folder.
