+# PhotoSort
+Bash script for sorting [PhotoRec](https://github.com/cgsecurity/testdisk) recovered data, but can be used for sorting any data by extension.
 
-Bash Script to sort files into directories based on extension.
\ No newline at end of file
+[PhotoRec](https://github.com/cgsecurity/testdisk) sorts data in many directories, with no organization by filetype.  This script creates a new directory with subdirectories for every filetype recovered by [PhotoRec](https://github.com/cgsecurity/testdisk), then moves files into their corresponding place.
