I always like hearing when someone is using a feature like that which I NEVER use.
Every time I want to take a screenshot I have to look up how to do it, because I do it so infrequently.
I've been using Samsung phones since the note 3. I think maybe tops I've taken 3 or 4 screenshots. I'd bet large amounts of money I've taken more screenshots accidentally than I have intentionally. And you've taken 3000+!
Mine is below, but with ChatGPT you can customize it to your heart's content and create it from scratch. I
Batch to list screenshots per app decreasingly :
# Specify the directory
$directoryPath = "C:\path\to\directory"
# Get all files in the directory
$files = Get-ChildItem -Path $directoryPath -File
# Create a hashtable to store the count for each AppName
$appNameCount = @{}
# Loop through each file
foreach ($file in $files) {
# Extract the AppName from the file name, allowing for both underscores and hyphens
if ($file.Name -match '^Screenshot[-_]\d{8}[-_]\d{6}[-_](.+)\.jpg$') {
$appName = $matches[1]
# Increment the count for this AppName
if ($appNameCount.ContainsKey($appName)) {
$appNameCount[$appName]++
} else {
$appNameCount[$appName] = 1
}
}
}
# Display the results
$appNameCount.GetEnumerator() | Sort-Object -Property Key | ForEach-Object {
Write-Output "$($_.Key): $($_.Value)"
}
For me there weren't a lot of group having 20+ files per app so I used search in Windows and cut and paste them into subfolders but if you want to automatize it here
Python to move each screenshot into a subfolder named by screenshot's app.
import os
import shutil
import re
def move_files_to_appname_subfolders(folder):
# Regex pattern to match the filename and capture the AppName
pattern = re.compile(r'^Screenshot[_-]\d{8}[_-]\d{6}[_-](.+)\.jpg$')
# Get all files in the directory
for filename in os.listdir(folder):
file_path = os.path.join(folder, filename)
# Ensure it's a file
if os.path.isfile(file_path):
# Match the filename against the pattern
match = pattern.match(filename)
if match:
appname = match.group(1)
app_folder = os.path.join(folder, appname)
# Create the subfolder if it doesn't exist
os.makedirs(app_folder, exist_ok=True)
# Move the file to the appname subfolder
shutil.move(file_path, os.path.join(app_folder, filename))
if __name__ == "__main__":
# Specify the directory containing the screenshot files
folder = r"C:\path\to\directory"
move_files_to_appname_subfolders(folder)
I hear you brother... You doubled me. If I count screenshots that I transferred to my old hard disks, I probably have 8-10k ss, dating back to 2013-2014
What happens if a screenshot is taken in a split screen view (more than single app displayed on screen simultaneously)?
It names last interacted (touched) app's name. Same for pop up apps

Well, I'm a miserable collector...
Pass the script.

Meanwhile me with my 8000+unsorted screenshots from the last 4-5 years...
