Photo Organiser

With mobile phones now being equipped with high-end cameras, one might be tempted to keep an organized database of all pictures taken. This is greatly enhanced when relying on applications like Photo Organiser, with support for multiple categories, neat sorting through pictures, and built-in slideshow viewer.

Before rushing to see what the application is all about, it’s best to check whether or not .NET Framework is installed on your computer, because it’s a required component for functionality. The application itself doesn’t take you through a setup process, enabling its capabilities even from a thumb drive, without affecting the target PC.

There are a couple of ways through which to organize picture galleries, but first, you need to create a collection. You’re free to add more, and even include years to better visualize timespan of events. Unfortunately, categories need to be filled in with pictures manually, because there’s no option to include entire folders, and drag and drop has no effect here.

On the other hand, this allows you to have multiple source for a collection, skipping you the effort of moving files around to manage collections. Instant preview is preview is provided, with an additional navigation bar, showing picture thumbnails. Images can be rotated, or viewed in full screen.

There’s a search bar to use in order to quickly jump to specific pictures, regardless of the gallery they’re in. When categories are all properly organized, you can initiate a slideshow, which you can either control with arrow keys, or leave it to automatically change pictures in order. Slide time can be configured from the settings menu, but there aren’t any transition effects.

Bottom line is that Photo Organiser is a neat, lightweight application with which to cleverly organize all your pictures in custom collection, which can have multiple sources so you don’t have to move files around. Navigation is enhanced by the thumbnail explorer bar, and viewing comfortable through the built-in slideshow.
