■ ▄▀∙──────────────────[ ■ RELEASE DESCRIPTION ■ ]──────────────────∙▀▄ ■
The Big Mean Folder Machine' makes it easy to (re-)organize huge file
collections.
The assistant-style interface walks you through the decision process and
allows you to create multi-level folder hierarchies and populate them
with your digital photos, music, movies or document files. Conversely it
also allows to merge the files from multiple folder hierarchies into a
single folder. It can also split large file collections into batches of a
pre-determined size, for instance for backing them up to CD/DVD or tape.
The Big Mean Folder Machine's database-backed 64-bit processing engine
takes care of all the complications that make doing this manually a
nightmare. It reads shooting date information from digital photo files
(JPEG/Exif and all RAW camera formats supported by Mac OS X), track
information from MP3/AAC music files, file creation/ modification dates
and file sizes. It takes care of file name conflicts and eliminates
manual errors.
Before doing anything at all, it allows you to preview the results to
make sure that everything is just perfect. By default, 'The Big Mean
Folder Machine' always makes copies of your original files rather than
moving them, but you can of course also tell it to move existing files to
save space and time.
The Big Mean Folder Machine is an essential tool for anyone working with
large file collections, including digital photographers, music
enthusiasts, content creation, post-production or other creative
professionals, system administrators, ...
