Organizing years of photos

We started with a pile of nearly 10K images over about 20 years, and the software was able to organize them for us in a way we can sort through and remove bad shots, people we have no idea why we photographed, and most importantly, put together folders we plan to have printed and share them with our now adult children.

Well, I recovered almost 1TB on that hard drive. Plus now I can find everything, lots of stuff I forgot about

After organizing and de-duplicating his 50-year underwater photo library.

This program has already been a game-changer, helping us turn a chaotic pile of ~20,000 scattered files into an organized family database half that size.

You have saved me literally hundreds of hours, and beyond that, improved my mental health beyond measure. Thank you so much.

I realize the prior isn't the most focused feedback, so here are a few things I just can't get over: Nondestructive organizing, combining .json files with the image files, organizing in folders by date, duplicate finding (!!!) library combining from multiple drives and sources, privacy oriented, with offline access (these two things ghave become increasingly import to me over the years), so so many things!

Listing the features he valued most.

I was serious about the mental health aspect. I've had these zip archives scattered across various drives for more than ten years. Some for twenty. The weight of them, and the knowledge of the work and emotion and frustration I'd go through organizing them cannot be overstated.

In just one night, I organized about 100,000 photographs!!!!!!

First message, subject line "Where have you been?!".

First of all I would like to confirm once again the excellent work you have done... Look at the attachment! 125,121 photos in one night is AMAZING!

Follow-up a few days later, with a screenshot of the result.

I love my FolioSort SSD drive now. I am really organized and it's nice not to have gigs of duplicates. I hope my grandkids someday appreciate them.

A few weeks later, about his photo SSD.

Thank you for building that, saves me heaps of time!

After Live Photo pairing was added.

J'ai acheté la version complète et elle est vraiment très complète.
Elle m'a permis d'organiser 80000 photos de manière très efficace.

J'ai pu supprimer des doublons, des captures d'écran inutiles, compresser des photos, et classer les photos par année.

Merci beaucoup

English translation (ours, not the customer's words): I bought the full version and it really is very complete. It let me organize 80,000 photos very efficiently. I was able to delete duplicates and useless screenshots, compress photos, and sort the photos by year. Thank you very much.

Every corresponding movie file gets paired with its jpeg and I have not seen the movie file get displaced.

After Live Photo pairing was added.

This is exactly what I needed! The athletes and scenes remain recognizable even when the original SSD is disconnected.

I purchased your photo sorter pro and while it does work really well for pictures, I am having a heck of a time sorting and keeping live pictures together.

First message, asking for a refund over Live Photos.

I've got about 9 years worth of photos to organize (download and sort) and while most of the really old ones don't even use live photos, the majority of the last 3-4 years do and wow, I took a lot of photos so I was really happy to find your app.

I am impressed so far with Foliosort, it’s already helping get onto of my files outside Apple Photos.
