I recently used Photorec to recover jpg's off a hard drive which lost it's partition info. The drive was a backup so I still have originals of my photos. My problem is my daughter copied her 60Gb of photos onto it and she's not sure she has the originals on her old, faulty laptop which she's left in Portugal.

So we have 100,000+ photos in 100+ folders which I'll need to sort using the camera make/model metadata. extract files without metadata (thumbnails, downloads etc) and extract jpg's taken by my cameras and phones which should leave us with her jpg's. Does anyone know of a graphical tool, linux or windows, which can sort files by such camera make/model metadata?

Lightroom.

I had the same thing. I had 20k photos on a drive all jumbled up after a huge pc crash and I manages to recover most.
Opened Lightroom, clicked the box to automatically sort files and away it went.
It sorted everyting into year/month/day folders, although you can choose other options.
Once it's done that, you can then search and sort through the, using metadata, tags,keywords,dates, cameras, lenses... Whatever you like.
 
Thanks for the replies guys. Unfortunately apps of that calibre are out of my price range, especially for a one off task like this. Is there anything simpler?
 
Now that is in my price range and it doesn't get any simpler than that does it?

Chris, you are a star. Thank you. :)
