# ImageSorter

Image Sorter makes it easy to sort an entire directory of images by color.

Update 10.21.2022: This project has been udpated to .NET7. To compile this version, you will need Visual Studio 2022 Preview, which is available here:

https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/preview/

Here is a video I made a couple of days ago which includes Image sorter and Sub Image Creator:

Here is another short video:

This project uses the following DataJuggler Nuget packages:

DataJuggler.Win.Controls

DataJuggler.PixelDatabase

DataJuggler.UltimateHelper

using DataJuggler.PixelDatabase;

using DataJuggler.UltimateHelper;

using DataJuggler.Win.Controls;

    // get the values selected

    string outputFolder = OutputControl.Text;

    string sourceFolder = SourceControl.Text;

    // If the strings outputFolder and sourceFolder both exist

    if (TextHelper.Exists(outputFolder, sourceFolder))

    {

        // Now perform the sort

        ImageClassifier.Sort(sourceFolder, outputFolder, UpdateStatus);

    }

    

UpdateStatus is a method for a delegate to callback from long operations:

    public void UpdateStatus(string message, int pixelsUpdated)

    {

        // If the message string exists

        if (TextHelper.Exists(message))

        {

            // Show the graph

            Graph.Visible = true;

            // if this is a Total or SetGraphMax

            if ((message.Contains("Total")) || (message.Contains("SetGraphMax")))

            {

                // Set the Max

                this.Graph.Maximum = pixelsUpdated;

            }

            else

            {

                // Set the Graph value

                this.Graph.Value = pixelsUpdated;

                // Set our message

                StatusLabel.Text = message;

            }

        }

    }

    

The UI is a very simple form with two LabelTextBoxBrowserControls, which make it easy to create a file or folder dialog.

ImageClassifier is part of DataJuggler.PixelDatabase, and the way it works is it finds the average red, average green and average blue values.

Next the Primary Color (red, green or blue) is determined, and also the Secondary and Minority colors are set.

Finally a new filename is created for each ImageClassification, and the new name will be in the format of [PrimaryColor][SecondaryColor][MinorityColor]

followed by the Red Green and Blue values, converted to text, plus a partial Guid to ensure uniqueness in a folder.

A few output file names:

bluegreenredbagaaaaaa.e5086356-0d4.png

redgreenbluebedbdgahj.25986e80-0ba.png

greenredbluebgbbcabaa.e7633860-ad9.png

The 9 digits between the minority color and partial guid, contains the Average RGB values for an image.

In this example:

greenredbluebgbbcabaa.e7633860-ad9.png

bgbbcabaa - translates to:

Green - bgb

Red - bca

Blue - baa

Using the values here, you can decipher this if desired

https://github.com/DataJuggler/PixelDatabase/blob/master/ImageClassifier.cs

Which translates to:

Green - 161

Red - 120

Blue - 100

The Fast Factor value speeds up the sorting, however you do lose a little accuracy possibly depending on your images.
