Earnest, it's a convenience program I wrote to simplify copying files from MTP devices to a local directory. I run it from my desktop with the phone connected via USB. You can see it at https://github.com/funnelfiasco/mtppics
Great article, Don! One fun date trick I use in my script to pull last month's pictures off my phone:
CURRENT_DATE="$(date +%Y-%m-15) -1 month"
YYYYMM=$(date --date="${CURRENT_DATE}" +%Y%m)
It's pretty incredible what you can do with the date command by giving the right formatting arguments.
