Booksorter

Booksorter is a small-sized software application designed to help you re-organize your ebook collection by sorting and renaming files according to any parameters you establish. It can either copy, move or just rename the files.

Provided that you have .NET Framework set up on your machine, you don't need to install anything else. This means that you can extract the program files anywhere on the disk and simply click the executable to run Booksorter. It doesn't modify the Windows registry configuration.

The GUI is made from a large panel split into multiple areas dedicated to the input and output settings, type of operations, book genres, case conversion, and pre-substitutions. It's not so neatly organized, so you may take a while to figure out how the options are spread.

You can begin by adding as many folders as you want to scan for ebooks, specify any file exclusions (by extensions) and optionally ask the utility to delete any empty directories which exist here.

In the following step you can define the output directory for the new files, organize the books into subdirectories by genre, as well as take into account the author's first letter or series.

As previously mentioned, you can either copy, move or rename the files. The name order can be set to first name first or last name first, with spaces or underscored, as well as by adding, removing or keeping the original format regarding author name points. Author names can be automatically corrected by Booksorter.

You can browse the database with authors and genres, convert the case (e.g. all uppercase in series, titles and author names), or indicate prefixes and suffixes. As far as pre-substitutions are concerned, the program gives you the possibility to replace any strings of characters with something else, either in normal or regular expression mode.

There were no kind of stability issues in our tests, since the software utility didn't hang, crash or display error messages. It didn't hamper system performance and carried out file operations swiftly.

The only problem concerns the way the interface is organized. Otherwise, Booksorter comes loaded with advanced and useful features to tidy up your ebooks collection by following specific rules.
