Organizing your photos and videos means not only grouping and labeling, but filtering.
To offer you the maximum flexibility in how you organize your files, in Silent Sifter v2.0 you will be able to create custom filters on each input or output location.
Configure any combination of filters, and apply complex logic such as ‘Any are true’ ‘none are true’ or ‘all are true’. Apply different filters on each input or output location.
Input filters are applied first, so you can filter out files from entering any of your outputs. For example, you may use PhotoStream for all of your photos from your iPhone. Great – you can apply a filter on your iPhone input, so that only movie files are imported when you perform a Sift operation.
Output filters are applied after input filters, so any files that make it past the input filters are then individually tested against the output location filters before those files are copied into the output location.
Here are some more examples of what you can do with filters:
- Store your photos to one output location, and your movies to another.
- Store long movie files to your external hard drive
- Only import large resolution photos from your camera
- Exclude any photos that come from a folder with ‘temporary’ in the folder name
- Only include files that come from a camera, or even a specific camera model in an output folder
Combining this with the power of custom file renaming logic, custom folder structure logic, deduplication, collision prevention, and the speed of Silent Sifter, you will have the ultimate control over how and where your files are organized while retaining one-click simplicity.
