Separate out and move files to subfolders
nkormanik:
Suppose we have a large collection of images (.jpg) in one single folder -- 120,000 of 'em.
We would like to move these image files to separate subfolders, 1000 per subfolder.
I presently have a way of doing this, but it's fairly tedious.
Wondering if someone might like to write a program to to it automatically.
Here's how I'm imagining it might work:
Fire up program. Several questions are asked:
-- Where are the files you want to separate out?
(possible answer: c:\images)
-- Where do you want to move these files to?
(possible answer: c:\separated)
-- How many files per subfolder?
(possible answer: 1000)
-- In what order are the files to be moved?
(possible answer: smallest to largest)
-- Press proceed when ready....
After program runs, there will be, say, 120 new folders in c:\separated:
c:\separated\001
c:\separated\002
c:\separated\003
.
.
.
c:\separated\120
Each of these subfolders will contain 1000 files. From smallest (in subfolder 001) to largest (subfolder 120).
What do you think? If there exists a way already out there, please let me know. I'd greatly appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Nicholas Kormanik

I do not know of any other application but seems easy enough to do. I'll see about getting an app together. :-)
TaoPhoenix:
That looks pretty neat for an idea!

@Chris: If you don't have time for this one, I can do it as well.

@skwire: Ok I did start working on it. If I cannot finish I'll let you know.
