• folder with photos ../Downloads/aaa/Camera/
• y step 120 min
• x width 50 days

TODO:

add option to hide 0. This will give a bit more clear view when you chewing something.

CONCLUSION:

Bash is not the best scripting language to operate with arrays and display similar information, but still possible to get expected result with simple tools.

Feel free to improve and share :)
