The Big Mean Folder Machine
take your files where you want them to go
The Big Mean Folder Machine 1.2 is the world's easiest file/folder management utility. With a familiar assistant-styled interface, The Big Mean Folder Machine is an essential tool for anyone who works with large file collections, including digital photographers, content creation, post-production, system administrators, and other creative professionals.
Featuring an industrial-strength moving and copying engine, The Big Mean Folder Machine brings structure and organization by walking the user through each decision. All operations may be performed without worrying about file name collisions; BMFM resolves name conflicts automatically. Unify entire file collections from various locations into a single folder. Or alternatively, split files into several folders based on a range of criteria.
The 1.3 update now allows files to be moved rather than being copied, which substantially speeds up large batch jobs.
