Did as instructed in your email and all went well as in my files were categorised/grouped into different extensions which made life a lot easy.

Thanks for your assistence and keep up the good work.

Thank you for this useful tool!

It sorted one half of ~600000 files, while leaving the other half untouched (for the most part txt files), stating ‘txt directory already exists’, but not moving. A small part of those most likely had names already in use, but renaming randomly didn’t change this behaviour either. Anyway, that’s still 300000 files sorted correctly! =)

Thank you very much for taking the time to write this, saved me a lot of hassle with sorting 120GB of data

Sorry no, PhotoRec Sorter is currently only compatible with Windows.

PhotoRec Sorter is a Windows executable, it is not directly compatible with any Linux/Unix based operating system. Try it with Wine.

It seems like a great program and very useful … but I am running Mac OS10.6 … will this work from the terminal mode the way I ran PhotoRec? I am guessing not….
