If we're stuck mostly at home for another month or two, this would be a great time to tackle a project I was hoping to do in retirement. Retirement is off the table for me, but here's the project:
I have a bazillion photos from digital cameras and scanned images of old photo prints, scattered across multiple hard drives (internal drives, external drives, thumb drives, SD cards, etc.). Over the years I've backed them up haphazardly; as a result, I can never find an image that I want, and have duplicates of many of the images stored all over the place.
If I could manage to dump everything I can find onto one drive, is there software that can crawl through the folder structures, pull out all the images, and collect and organize them in some way that I can easily peruse them at my leisure and clean up dupes, organize things into folders that make sense, etc.?
