I just found a free command line program that has value for organizing pictures and other chores.
Look at http://owl.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/ for this very flexible tool.
I had some questions for the author and he responded to my email, with answers, within a few hours.
This batch file will take photo files in a folder and copy all of them to new folders titled by the date the picture was taken (all are single line remarks and commands)
: Make Desktop folder "1" with folder "2" inside it. : Copy photos from camera into "2"
: Run this Batch
: Result is New folders "YYYY-MM-DD" inside "1" with originals still in "2"
Set Tool="C:\Program Files\exiftool-8.09\exiftool(-k).exe" Set Base=C:\Users\Eric\Desktop\1
Start "" /wait %Tool% -o dummy/ -d "%Base%\%%Y-%%m-%%d" "-Directory<DateTimeOriginal" "%Base%\2"
