New in v2.7.0 Free & Pro

No manual needed.
The Wizard shows you the way.

FolioSort's built-in Wizard walks you through organizing your media library in four clear steps. Choose what you want to do, pick your files, configure your settings, and press Start. Done.

Step 1: What do you want to do?

The Wizard starts by asking one simple question. Pick your mode and the rest adapts to it.

Mover

Copy or move files into smart dated and named folders using EXIF metadata and GPS location.

Rename

Batch rename files with date prefixes, sequential numbers, regex patterns and live preview.

Events

Define time blocks for a shoot and sort photos from all cameras into the right event folder automatically.

Four steps to a perfectly organised library

The Wizard adapts to your chosen mode, but always follows the same clear pattern.

1
Mode Selection

Choose what you want to do

Select Mover, Rename, or Events. The Wizard configures the next steps based on your choice — no irrelevant options shown.

2
File Selection

Pick your source folder

Drag a folder into the Wizard or click to browse. FolioSort auto-scans and shows you how many files it found, what formats, and a thumbnail preview. For Events mode, the scan happens automatically in Step 1.

3
Configuration

Configure your settings

Pick a folder template (Mover), a naming pattern (Rename), or define your event time blocks (Events). The direct link to advanced options — custom templates, regex rename — is always visible for Pro users.

4
Preview & Run

Review, then press Start

A full file preview shows a sample of files with their before → after transformation. Once you're happy, press Start. The Wizard takes you straight to the operation progress screen — no hunting through tabs.

Designed for first-timers and veterans alike

The Wizard removes friction for beginners without taking anything away from power users.

Contextual Guidance

Each step shows exactly what to do and why — with inline explanations of what metadata fields are used, what tokens mean, and what the result will look like.

Live File Preview

Before you commit, the Wizard shows a sample of your actual files with their before → after name and path. No surprises when it runs.

Buttons Always Visible

Next and Start never hide behind the status bar — fixed in v2.7.1. You can always see where to go, even on smaller screens.

Zero Configuration Needed

The Wizard pre-selects sensible defaults — date-based preset, checksum on, copy mode. You can change anything, but you don't have to touch a thing if you just want it to work.

Full Undo Always Available

Made a mistake? The Wizard doesn't change FolioSort's safety model — every operation run through it is fully undoable with one click from the history panel.

Direct Link to Advanced Options

Pro users get a direct link to the full template builder and regex rename from within the Wizard steps — no need to leave the flow to access power features.
