FileSorter

 

This program will look for files with similar names and group them into folders together.

 

The program will sort one or several folders and move files to one output folder.

 

The user has the option to say how many files are needed to make up a series. If enough pictures

with similar names are found by the program, thoses files will be moved together to their own

directory. The files that won’t make up their own directory are put in folders named  “unsorted”.

 

If there are files with the same name, they will be copied to folders with name-suffixes, like

ast0000-2 and so on.

for selecting files. The difference is that the first selection button will

will sort the sub-folders to the one selected as well.
