Especially for external hard drives serving as backup of all the personal data, sortig them is an endless job. -This program helps you sorting your files. First of all, the **files are copied to own folders for each file type**. Second, **jpgs are distinguished by the year** when they have been taken **and by the event**.

If you want another file-limit, e.g. 1000, just put that number as third parameter to the execution of the programm: ```python recovery.py 1000``` ## Usage
