Organize your files

Dir-tree-organizer (it's current name) is a simple python application that is designed to do the following:

• Take a messy directory full of photos and/or other files
• Copy or move those photos into a new directory and organize it by date

Features

• Destination files organized in 3 levels YYYY/MM/DD or 2 YYYY/MM_DD (maybe with month only later)
• Ability to use EXIF data to calculate the image date
• Progress indicator of sorts (total files)
• Ability to skip specific file extensions
• Having a minimum file size

Installation

To organize all files in /mnt/disk1/messy and create a new organized version in /mnt/disk2/clean using the default 2 level format.
