photo-sifter

Sift through photos using arrow keys

About The Project

As someone who enjoys capturing memories on a digital camera, I end up with hundreds to thousands of photos to process at one given time. Procrastination gets the best of me when thinking about the task I've given myself, but I also want to get them in the hands of family and friends as soon as possible.

Instead of spending my spare time sifting through my most recent collection of photos, I used it to build this tool. Let's hope it pays off in the future 😅

Built With

• Python
• Pillow
• Tkinter

Getting Started

1. Install Python (currently using: Python 3.12.7)
2. Clone the repo
3. Install the dependencies
4. Copy images into 'photos' folder
5. Run the program

python main.py

6. Use the arrow keys to run an action:

• UP / DOWN navigates between images
• RIGHT to move photo into 'upload' folder
• LEFT to move photo into 'skip' folder

Roadmap

• Limit files to accept images only
• Add text to let user know that you are at the start or end of the list (rather than console logs)
• Allow user input to set a location rather than a hardcoded path
