PixieSort

PixieSort is a simple and easy-to-use photo organizer app. Its primary purpose is to sort and organize your photos based on their original taken dates. With PixieSort, you can quickly find and group your memories by when they were captured, making it a breeze to relive those special moments in chronological order. Say goodbye to photo clutter, and let PixieSort work its enchantment on your pictures!

Requirements:

  • copy the pictures, not move. So that the originals remain untouched in case of errors.

  • update created and modified time to taken time of the picture

  • modify the file name to the created timestamp

  • created folders according to year and month (YYYY/MM)

  • skip anything that is not pictures jpg and png

  • detect duplicates and skip them

  • for whatsapp pictures, retain the file name and location as it is

How to use:

To adjust WhatsApp metadata

Images for WhatsApp need to be named: IMG-YYYYMMDD-WAXXXX.jpg

Only valid for direct pictures on the WhatsApp Media / Pictures folder

To organize normal pictures which are taken by camera (no matter which)

  • you can create manually a copy just to be on the safe side, in case things don't go well, but program should make copies too and not touch originals
  • give the path where the pictures are (it will include the sub-folders)
  • give the path where you want them to be saved
  • click organize

To interrupt

Just close the app. When you resume, it should skip duplicates but will still create a backup first. This step is not optional in order to ensure no data is lost.
