I just used this, I love it! However, I have some ideas that might make this better:

I think the UX could be better if the months were labeled as Jan, Feb etc..
[x] Also, I tried to use the exe file but windows was not letting me run it so I ended up using pip.
[ ] It would be cool if you rename the file as the date of the photo since Windows organizes the file names alpha order, this way when the user is viewing everything they can see all birthday photos together, all grad photos togther etc... Overall, great program, saved my life :)

(edits from @TheLastGimbus - I added the "[ ]" to mark progress

(Will this work (display nice in issue progress) if i put it like this?) - edit: nope

~~- [ ] See if there's something wrong with .exe or is it just windoza~~ ~~- [ ] option to rename photos to dates~~

If anyone has a problem with running .exe, please post it here, as descriptive as possible :ok_hand:

Hi there! Working on v3 now, and those seem interesting. To summarize:

[x] sign windoza .exe to make defender happy - best i can do is self-signed cert, which defender still screams at :confused: I can't get valid cert because that's 100$/year :tada:
[ ] rename files to their dates to be good even when something changes their modify date

closing with f3438eeb - exifs should be good enough instead of renaming photos :+1:
