This can be particularly useful for sorting and categorizing large collections of images.

Requirements Python 3.x Tkinter (usually comes pre-installed with Python) shutil (a standard library module for file operations) datetime (a standard library module for date and time operations)
Installation No installation is required. Simply download the provided code and run it using Python.
Usage Run the script. Click on "Choose Directory" to select a directory containing subfolders. Click on "Choose Picture Folder" to select a folder containing pictures to be moved. Review the displayed information about the total number of subfolders and pictures, and the calculated ratio. Click on "Move Pictures" to start the moving process. Upon completion, a success message will be displayed.
