--- PhotoSift -----------------------------------------------------------------
Developed by RL Vision © 2013-2014 (http://www.rlvision.com)
Special thanks to Michael for all support, suggestions, testing and the logo.
Free, open source. Licensed under GPL
Source code is available from the homepage.
Portable:
• Just unzip and run
• Settings are saved in the application folder as 'Settings.xml'.
This file can be kept when upgrading. Removing it restores the
default settings.
--- About ---------------------------------------------------------------------
PhotoSift is a utility helping you to quickly organize unsorted image
libraries. The basic idea is to load the program with images, then show
and inspect each image and press a key on the keyboard. The image will
then be moved or copied to a folder of your choice corresponding to
that key, and the next images is displayed.
Features:
• Quickly organize your unsorted images
• Fast keyboard-based workflow
• Multithreaded cache-ahead loading
• Various inspection tools (zoom, flip, rotate)
• Rename or delete files when needed
• Unlimited undo
• Fullscreen mode for less distractions
• Highly configurable
• Portable
• Free, open source
--- Getting Started -----------------------------------------------------------
This sections outlines how to use PhotoSift for the first time:
1. Set the base target folder
The first thing you should do is to decide where images should end
up when you press a key. On the "File" menu, select "Set Target Base
Folder". (If you don't change this folder, it will default to the
same folder as PhotoSift.exe is located in)
2. Set file mode
PhotoSift can either move or copy your images. Default is move. You
may want to change this. On the "Edit" menu select "Settings". Locate
"File Operations" to find the file mode. Also check the other file
operation settings to make sure they suit your needs.
3. Add images
Open the "Image Pool" menu and select either "Add Images" or "Add
from Folder". The latter will let you choose a folder, and then locate
all images in that folder and its subfolders. You can also drag and
drop images or folders onto the program to add them.
4. Browse the image pool
Now that you have loaded images you can start browsing them. Press left
and right to step forward and backwards in the image pool. See the hotkey
section below to see what more you can do.
5. Press a Key
When an image is displayed, press a letter or number key on the keyboard.
Let's say that you press the "A" key. Now PhotoSift will move (or copy)
the image into a subfolder named "A" that is located in the folder that
you decided on in step 1.
For example:
• Currently viewing: "c:\temp\pic.jpg"
• Base target folder is: "d:\sorted\"
• You Press "A"
• Image is moved to: "d:\sorted\A\pic.jpg"
The next section describes how to change the destination folder
associated with each key.
--- Destination Folders -------------------------------------------------------
The settings allows you to specify the destination folder associated with
each key. There are three ways to specify this:
1: Leave the field empty.
This will use the key as destination folder. So if you pressed the "A"
key, the image will end up in a subfolder name "A" located in the base
target folder.
2: Enter a custom name.
This wil be used as the destination folder, located as a subfolder in
the base target folder. Example: "Landscape Photos"
3: Enter a complete path.
If you enter a complete path this will be used as the destination
folder. Example: "c:\photos\portraits\"
You can change the base target folder from the "File" menu in the main
window. If you don't change this folder, it will default to the same folder
as PhotoSift.exe is located in.
If the destination folder does not exist, it will be created automatically.

--- Command Line --------------------------------------------------------------
When starting PhotoSift you can supply a list of files or folders. PhotoSift
will attempt to load these files and the content of folders (including
subfolders).
Example:
PhotoSift.exe "c:\temp\someimage.jpg" "c:\allmyphotos"
--- Requirements --------------------------------------------------------------
To run PhotoSift you need the ".Net Framework 2.0". If you get the error
message "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135)"
this means you don't have .Net 2.0 installed.
.Net 2.0 is preinstalled on Windows XP (SP3), Vista & 7. Windows 8+ users
might need to download or enable it first. Usually Windows will detect and
offer to download and install the required framework files for you when
you try to start the program for the first time. Let it finish and then
try to start the program again. If this does not happen, try this:
1. Go to Control Panel –> Programs –> Get Programs
2. Click Turn Windows features on or off
3. Check '.NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0)'
4. Click OK.
