Events Feature New in v2.8.0 Pro
Define your shoot timeline once. FolioSort reads the EXIF timestamp on every file from every camera and routes it to the correct event folder — Getting Ready, Ceremony, Reception — without you touching a single file.
FolioSort maps every photo to the moment it was taken, not the folder it was dumped in.
The Events tab now has a clean three-panel layout. No more switching screens.
Panels are resizable by dragging the dividers — give more space to what matters to you.
Built for multi-camera workflows where every second counts.
Every photo carries a DateTimeOriginal field. FolioSort reads it and compares it against your time blocks — no ambiguity, no guessing. Files shot at 12:45 go into the Ceremony folder, period.
Drop all cards from all shooters into one source folder. FolioSort doesn't care which camera shot which file — it routes by time, not by camera.
Made a mistake on your time blocks? Every Events operation is fully undoable with one click — files go back exactly where they came from, including cleanup of empty folders.
Every moved or copied file is verified with XXHash64 (or SHA-256 on Pro). Zero corrupted files — even when moving 50,000 RAWs off an SD card.
Files that fall outside any defined time block are shown separately. You can route them to an "Unmatched" folder or review them manually — nothing gets silently lost.
New to Events? Use the Wizard tab: Step 1 picks your source, Step 2 configures your event groups and destination, Step 3 shows a full preview before you commit. Then it runs and takes you straight to the Events tab with live progress.
From dumped SD cards to a structured delivery folder — in under a minute.
Copy everything from all SD cards into a single source folder. No pre-sorting needed — just dump them all together.
In the left panel, name each moment and set its start and end time. Use the sub-event feature for nested groups like Church & Blessing inside Ceremony.
FolioSort shows exactly how many files go into each block, with a sample before → after view. Adjust time ranges until it's perfect.
Click Start. Every photo lands in the right folder. Verified. Ready to cull, edit and deliver — without ever touching a filename.
