The Events feature · Pro
Define your shoot timeline once — Getting Ready, Ceremony, Reception. FolioSort reads the EXIF timestamp on every file from every camera and routes it into the correct event folder, without you touching a single file.
You finish an event with three shooters, a dozen SD cards and thousands of frames — all landing in one giant
import folder, IMG_0412.CR3 next to DSC_0089.NEF next to A7IV_0033.ARW.
Getting Ready, Ceremony and Reception are all jumbled together, and drag-and-drop sorting is a night you never
get back.
The information to fix it is already there — every photo knows the exact second it was taken. It just sits unread inside each file, and no folder name reflects it.
Events lets you name each moment of the day and set its start and end time. FolioSort reads
the DateTimeOriginal timestamp inside every file and routes it into the block it belongs to — a
frame shot at 12:45 goes into Ceremony, period.
It doesn't care which camera shot which file. Drop every shooter's cards into one folder and it routes by time, not by body — copies or moves with checksum verification, and every batch is fully undoable. Events is a Pro feature.
How it works
Copy everything from every SD card into one source folder. No pre-sorting — just dump them all together, mixing cameras and formats freely.
Name each moment and set its start and end time. Use sub-events for nested groups like Church & Blessing inside Ceremony.
FolioSort shows exactly how many files land in each block, with a before-and-after tree. Adjust the time ranges until it's perfect.
Click Start. Every photo lands in the right folder, checksum-verified and undoable — ready to cull, edit and deliver.
What it does
DateTimeOriginal field. FolioSort reads it and matches it against your time blocks — no ambiguity, no guessing.Set a block like Ceremony · 12:00 → 13:30 and every frame captured in that window — from any
camera — flows into 02_Ceremony/. Getting Ready, Cocktail Hour and Reception each get their own
folder, numbered in order so the delivery tree reads like the day itself.
You see the exact routing in the preview before a single file moves, so you can nudge a start time by five minutes and watch the counts update — then run it once you're happy.
Who it's for
Three of us shoot every wedding, so my import folder was always a wall of CR3s, NEFs and ARWs with no order to it. I set up the day's blocks once, previewed the split, and hit go — Getting Ready through Reception, all in numbered folders, before I'd finished my coffee. The whole thing undoes in one click if I get a time wrong.
Events is the timeline-aware side of FolioSort. Sort a whole backlog by date and camera with the Organizer, or slice a single day into named moments here — same EXIF engine, same checksum-verified, undoable transfers.
Slice one day into named time blocks and route every camera's photos into the right moment.

Every photo carries a DateTimeOriginal EXIF field — the exact moment it was captured. FolioSort reads it and compares it against the start and end times of the event blocks you defined. A file shot at 12:45 lands in the Ceremony folder, with no guessing and no manual sorting.
Yes. Drop the cards from every shooter into one source folder. FolioSort routes by capture time, not by camera, so Canon, Nikon and Sony files from the same moment all land in the same event folder together.
Files that don't match any defined block are shown separately, never silently lost. You can route them to an Unmatched folder or review them by hand, then adjust your time ranges and run again.
Yes. Every Events operation is fully reversible with one click — files go back exactly where they came from, including cleanup of any empty folders that were created. Each transfer is checksum-verified first, so nothing is corrupted in the move.
Define your timeline once and let FolioSort file every camera's photos into the right moment — checksum-verified, fully undoable, never uploaded. Events is included in FolioSort Pro: one-time purchase, no subscription, lifetime license.
