# Sort files recoverd by Photorec
Photorec does a great job when recovering deleted files. But the result is a huge, unsorted, unnamed amount of files. 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**. We thereby define an event as a time span during them photos are taken. It has a delta of 4 days without a photo to another event. If no date from the past can be detected, these jpgs are put into one folder to be sorted manually.

## Usage

All directories contain maximum 500 files. If one contains more, numbered subdirectories are created. 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 <path to files recovered by Photorec> <destination> 1000```
```python recovery.py <path to files recovered by Photorec> <destination> -n1000```
For an overview of all arguments, run with the `-h` option: ```python recovery.py -h```.
## Adjust event distance
For the case you want to reduce or increase the timespan between events, simply adjust the variable ```minEventDelta``` in ```jpgHelper.py```. This variable contains the delta between events in seconds.
