Need small app to move >22,000 pictures from one BIG dir to folders names with dates

As you guys might know, when you have too many pictures in one gigantic directory, scrolling through sagetv's thumbnails become unusably sluggish. I am looking for a small tool/app which will move these files to new folders that it would created such as:

March-2005
June-2005
July-2005
Aug-2005

Thanks in advance!

Note this will have a side effect of giving you some unwanted directories:
Code:
for /f "tokens=1,3 delims=/ " %i in ('dir') do mkdir %i-%j
for /f "tokens=1,3,7 delims=/ " %i in ('dir') do move %k %i-%j
-edit

Some explanation, this will take each line in the "dir" and then take the 1st and 3rd tokens (which are separated by either '/' or ' '), basically it will, for each file, make a directory of it's month-year. Then it will copy it.

You could also tweak it to include date, by changing tokens to 1,2,3 or 1-3 and changing the mkdir part to %i-%j-%k.

-edit 2

Type that at a command prompt. Also you can replace dir with any dir command (dir *.jpg) or whatnot if you want to limit to a subset of files.

Thanks stanger89, that worked okay. Ultimately, I decided this all together that this was a bad idea. I have several folders which only have 1 or two pics. I guess I just have to find a better way to logically break them down into subfolders so sagetv's picture library thumbnails aren't so sluggish when scrolling through them.

I would use JR Media Center www.jrmediacenter.com . Its mainly audio management but it can do other files too. I use it to read exif info of my photos and to rename them into this directory structure Media/Photos/jpg/2005/08/ . So basicly photos, then by image type then by year and month.

works great, and you can customize the names and folder to any database field. Probly the most powerful media organizer around.

J River Media Center is a great app. If you already use it for music, extending to pictures is a no brainer. But I don't think I would purchase it solely for pictures.

Neilm, I have used ThumbsPlus before. I found it ok. But, if you want to talk about the best image viewer, the Faststone Image viewer is tops in my mind. I switched to it over the last couple of months and I could not be happier.

And it is free!

Have a look: www.faststone.org
