One-click image sorting/labelling script. Copies or moves images from a folder into subfolders.

This script is intended to be a help for users sorting a set of mixed images into folders differentiated by classes - e.g. cats image folder, dog images folder, bikes images folder a.s.o. The script launches a GUI which displays one image after the other and lets the user give different labels, corresponding to different folders, from a list provided as input by the user. In contrast to original version, version 2 allows for relabelling and keeping track of the labels. Provides also short-cuts - press "1" to put into "label 1", press "2" to put into "label 2" a.s.o.

run 'pip install -r requirements.txt' to install dependencies.

then

run 'python sort_folder_vers2.py' or copy the script in a jupyter notebook and run then. You need also to provide your specific input in the file-header (source folder, labels, 'copy' or 'move' mode, path to tracker file, desired file extensions (.jpg, .png, ...) ). Read the header in the .py-script, follow the discriptions and make the necessary changes to run it on your machine.
