Portable Photo Manager

Portable Photo Manager is a practical and intuitive software solution that was created to offer you a straightforward method of tidying up your picture folders, enabling you to organize them into time-stamped directories in just a few clicks.

The program is able to work in two modes, depending on your level of knowledge in using such tools, as well as the degree of thoroughness you wish to apply in processing the files.

Consequently, you can opt for the preferred mode, either ‘Basic’ or ‘Advanced’, which you can switch from the ‘File’ menu at all times.

If you opt to work with the ‘Basic’ mode of Portable Photo Manager, you will be guided through the steps of a wizard, where you will be able to choose the source directory, then choose a sorting method, separating the images according to the year they were captured, or for a more precise result, into subfolders corresponding to the month they were taken in.

The necessary information for this task it taken from the EXIF data (a series of details ‘burnt’ into the picture by the camera), firstly relying on the capture date and if that data is not available, Portable Photo Manager resorts to last modified date.

Choosing to work in ‘Advanced’ mode offers you a set of additional preferences, enabling you to define the ‘File Operation’ to be executed: ‘Copy’, ‘Move’, ‘Rename Only’, the last of which comes with additional ‘Options’ referring to the name to be given to the images in question.

You can also use the ‘Fix Dates’ function to modify the capture date for photographs with erroneous EXIF data. All you need to do is load the source file, select the date it was actually taken on and press the ‘Fix Selected’ button.

Overall, Portable Photo Manager proves to be an efficient and intuitive application that you can rely on for thoroughly organizing all your messy picture folders, allowing you to separate them according to when they were captured.
