# Origin and Credits
This is a fork of tfrdidi's [much-improved fork](https://github.com/tfrdidi/sort-PhotorecRecoveredFiles) of Chris Masterson's [sort-PhotorecRecoveredFiles](https://github.com/ChrisMagnuson/sort-PhotorecRecoveredFiles). The code of this version is unchanged from tifrdidi's version, and was created purely for the purpose of enabling issue tracking and logging the issues I've come across during usage in the hope that others more adept than me at Python can either add to them or fix them. The English of this readme has also been improved for the purpose of making it a little clearer.
# Sort files recovered by Photorec
Photorec does a great job when recovering deleted files, but the result is a huge, unsorted, unnamed amount of files. Particularly for external hard drives that serve as a backup of all your personal data, sorting them is a tedious job.
This program helps you sort the files that Photorec recovers. First, the **files are sorted into folders by their file extensions**. Second, **JPGs** are then further sorted **by the year they were taken* and **by the event as part of which they were taken**. An event is defined as a 4-day time span in which photos have been taken, though this can be changed - see *"Adjust event distance"*. If no date from the past can be detected, these JPGs are put into one folder to be sorted manually.

## Usage
```python recovery.py <path to files recovered by Photorec> <destination>```
