DateTakenPhotoSorter.py – A python script for sorting photos

I decided this script was a necessity since I’ve been arranging my photos based on date taken since I bought my first Canon point and shoot.  After buying my Nikon 5000, I was disappointed to find the Nikon’s sync software did not break photos out into directories based on the date they were taken.  Yesterday, I finally had time to sit down and code it up.  This script should work on any platform and can work via either command line or via drag-and-drop.  Simply give it one or more directories using either of those methods and it will sort the photos in each directory based on the “Image DateTaken” Exif field.
