Sorting photos into folders
« on: May 07, 2010, 04:37:12 PM »
Quick question, I shoot surf photos daily, roughly 500-700 photos and need to be able to sort them into 50 plus folders for different surfers. I used the demo briefly and I liked the quick tag feature and the speed of how fast they rendered the photo but I need to be able to move the photos into new folders for the 50 plus different surfers. Is that possible with this program.

Thanks James

Yes, and it can be fairly automated.

If you were to caption your photos with the IPTC Info dialog, and put the surfer's name in one of the fields, like Object Name then you could use the Copy Photos dialog to look up the surfer's name, create a sub-folder and move the photos into the proper folder.

You'd setup the Copy Photos dialog to look like this:
