Categorizing & Sorting Graphics
If you have many graphics files on your computer, you will soon realize that
a single folder for all images is insufficient. To solve this problem, IrfanView
allows you to sort images by thumbnail view.
- Make new folders in your current graphics folder for each image
category
- Open IrfanView, and select File -> Thumbnails, or press the keyboard
shortcut, T
- Browse to your graphics folder. You should see your new subfolders,
and all the pictures in that folder.
- Select the desired thumbnails, using Ctrl or Shift to select multiple
files.
- Select File -> Move Selected Files, then enter your desired subdirectory in
the screen shown below. You can also browse to the desired folder with the
"Browse" button. To move the files, press the corresponding numbered button
on the bottom of the screen. Your files will be moved to the corresponding
directory.
- There are several tools available that offer easier drag & drop sorting of
thumbnails and are also good image viewers, like IrfanView. They are
not freeware, but are reasonably priced. If you sort large numbers of files
on a regular basis, they may be worth considering. Both products listed
below have free trials available.
