normalize_names.py

"""Normalize image names in clouds_1/ to sequential numbers.

Files already named as a plain number (e.g. 42.jpg, 105.JPG) are left
untouched. All other images get numbers continuing after the current
maximum, ordered by date: EXIF DateTimeOriginal when present, file
mtime otherwise — so an earlier date always gets a smaller number.

Usage:
    python3 normalize_names.py          # dry run, prints the plan
    python3 normalize_names.py --apply  # actually rename
