The concept behind AutoSort .

FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPT

AutoSort has a celebrity name database containing information about thousands of celebrities.  It runs the files through advanced identification algorithms to see if any bits of usefull info in the file name could match any entries in it's celebrity database.

After the identification phase, the user is presented with the results and allowed to modify or select identifications made by AutoSort.  Should AutoSort fail to suggest the appropriate celebrity, the use can manually identify the file with a nifty little 'Identify As...' tool.

Once you have reviewed the identifications, you just tell the program to move your files into folders created from the celebrities' name within your collection folder.

IS IT ANY GOOD ?

One might think that such program would be limited to identifying files like "ROM_CindyCrawford_003.jpg" where the celebrity name is obvious.  AutoSort is much smarter than that!

File names containing partial name info such as these would also get suggested as being 'Cindy Crawford':

"ccrawford", "crawfordc", "c_crawford", "crawford_c",

"cindyc", "ccindy", "cindy_c", "c_cindy",

"crawc", "ccraw", "craw_c", "c_craw",

"cincra", "cracin", "cin_cra", "cra_cin" ,

"cinc", "ccin",

 "cic", "crc", "cc", etc…

Several more combinations would work as well, but I think you get the picture ! J
