The standout feature that defines PhotoMove’s utility is
Most file explorers sort by "Date Modified" or "Date Created." However, if you copied a photo from 2015 to a new drive in 2023, the "Date Created" would show 2023. PhotoMove ignores this. It drills into the photo's DNA to find the exact millisecond the shutter snapped. It then automatically creates a folder structure (e.g., \2023\2023-10\ ) and moves the file there.
