A small program for Linux and Windows that sorts photos and videos into dated folders by the day they were taken, skips what is already in your library, and can undo every sort.

The gap
Photos pile up from cameras, phones and messengers in folders named DCIM, Camera and New folder, with copies of the same pictures in several places, and sorting them by hand takes evenings while photo apps lock the library into their own format.
What it is
Podredi reads the date each photo or video was really taken and copies or moves it into plain dated folders on your own disk, skipping what you already have, with a dry run first and an undo after.
How you use it
Years of photos in dated folders in minutes, without doubles and with a way back.
A careful, scriptable photo sorter for people who keep their pictures in folders, not in a cloud service or a catalogue.
Use it when
Built for
EXIF dates and camera models from JPEG, HEIC, PNG, WebP, TIFF and raw photos, the creation time in MP4 and MOV videos with your time zone, dates in names such as IMG_20240315 or VID-20240315-WA0001, and the file's own time only as the last resort.
Year and month by default, or any pattern with day, month names in English or Bulgarian, camera model and photos or videos, and file names by date and time. A typo in a pattern stops the run before anything moves, and names stay valid on Windows.
Every file is compared by content with the library and with this run, so copies from messengers and cards sorted twice are skipped. A different photo with the same name gets a number. Hidden folders, thumbnails and the library itself are left alone.
A dry run lists the folders it would fill. Copying is the default and moving checks each copy first. Every sort writes a journal, and podredi undo puts moved files back and removes copies, after checking nothing was edited since.
