Finished Programs / Re: DONE: Sort images into folders based on resolution

Hello

Many thanks for the comprehensive reply.

I'd honestly appreciate implementation of any of the items in my list so thanks for your consideration.

The padding stuff was all about me trying to figure out some anal way of sorting my photos - quite understand your comments on that - no problem.

Thanks again and look forward to your new version.

Hello again

Just thinking about my previous post and reckon it could do with revising - please consider this one instead.

Possible enhancements:

1. for the first, automatic, sort method, have alternative options:

a) sort by resolution - as currently exists
b) sort by aspect ratio - reduced to greatest common denominator
        user to specify any padding, eg 1200x300 reduces to 12x3, then
            pad left=0, pad right=0 -> 12x3   (default)
            pad left=2, pad right=2 -> 12x03
            pad left=3, pad right=2 -> 012x03
c) sort by aspect ratio - reduced to decimal
        user to specify sig fig before and after decimal point, eg 400x300 reduces to 1.33, then
            before point=0, after point=2 -> 1.33 (default)
            before point=3, after point=4 -> 001.3333

2. for the second, list driven, sort method, have alternative option:
        in the same way that a user is allowed to input a list of acceptable resolutions,
        would it be possible to incorporate a facility for inputting a list of acceptable aspect ratios,
        using either improper fractions (eg 400x300, 040x030, etc) or decimals (eg 1.33, 001.333, etc)

3. for all sorting have the option to sort portrait equivalents in the the same folder as their landscape counterparts,
        eg, have a check box 'inverse ratios in same folder' or similar, which if ticked,
             would for example allow all images 3:4 to be sorted into the same folder as all images 4:3

Sorry about revised post - will sleep now!

Thanks again

Hello

Just found your software and thinks it's excellent.

Don't know if you're still able/want to work on this, and hope this doesn't offend in anyway, but purely for selfish reasons, had a few of thoughts on possible enhancements:

1. when a user inputs a list of acceptable resolutions, would it be possible to incorporate a facility for having the images put into folders with the greatest common denominator equivalents of the given resolutions, ie a 'reduce to gcd' option (eg. 1200x900 reduces to 4:3); or alternatively, a 'reduce to decimal' option (eg. 1200x900 reduces to 1.33, or 1.333 - whatever sig fig is specified);

2. in the same way that a user is allowed to input a list of acceptable resolutions, would it be possible to incorporate a facility for inputting a list of acceptable aspect ratios, using either improper fractions (eg 400:300) or decimals (eg 1.33)

Thanks
