BatchBlitz provides a
Categorize Images Wizard that lets you
categorize your photos into different folders according to a
specified Exif or IPTC metadata. The folders' names will be the
metadata values.
E.g. if you categorize your photos according to the camera
make metadata, the result folders may look like this:

In the above picture, the Canon folder contains all
photos taken by Canon cameras, while the _Unknown folder
contains all files from which BatchBlitz failed to retrieve the
camera make.
Using BatchBlitz, you can view the Exif and IPTC metadata of your
photos with simple clicks.
Just select an image in Files or Source Images
pane, then do one of the following:
|
Right click the image and select Properties from the context menu; |
|
Click button on
the pane toolbar. |
Then the "Image Properties" dialog is shown. See below for an
example:

GPS info, if present, is also displayed. See below for an
example:

You will learn how to put all photos into the same folder if they
were taken on the same day. The result folders may look like this:

In the above picture, the folder 2004-06-22 contains all
photos taken on Jun 22nd, 2004.
Categorization is always done on the photos that you selected into
the
Source Images list. You cannot
do categorization when this list is empty.
To select files into the Source
Images list, go to the Source view, then drag files or folders from
Folders pane, Files pane or Windows Explorer into the
Source Images list.
To invoke the
Categorize Images
Wizard, just click button

on
the toolbar of the
Source Images
pane. (Note: this button is disabled when the source list is
empty.)
Step 1: Select
Exif - Date Picture
Taken from the
Categorize images
by dropdown list.
You may want to check the option Output
selective categories only so that photos out of specified
date range will not get categorized.

Step 2: Here you specify an output folder for the
categorized files.
By default, source files are copied to the output folder. To
delete original files after categorization, just check the below
option.

Step 3: Categorization is now started.
Wait until process is done. Then you can click Finish to
quit the dialog.
