Take a look at this - only version 1.0 & it's FAST!

Info from the Manual:
Pixort - compare, reject and sort jpeg and Canon RAW files.
Digital workflow: photo overflow!
The entry of high-quality digital cameras has been quite a revolution within photography. Time-consuming and expensive film developing is no longer necessary, and the result can be viewed and manipulated on the photographer’s monitor within seconds. This has clear advantages: it is possible to shoot lots of photos without paying a fortune for film, developing and copying. However, it causes one obvious problem: how do you quickly sort and cull photos? With 50 photos, it’s not a problem, but how about 500 photos after a weekend of mountain hiking? How about 5000 photos from a summer vacation? Obviously, an effective way to sort and cull photos is needed.
Why Pixort was developed
After buying a Canon EOS 10D in May 2003, my1 photography habits changed dramatically. Earlier I shot 50-100 shots during a summer holiday, now I often shoot 500 during a weekend (and actually that’s not very much compared to professionals!).
With this increase in number of photos, culling became a real pain. I tested different tools and realized that all the tools were actually more targeted towards step 3 and 4. I couldn’t find any effective way to compare, reject and sort 500 photos.
To make a long story short: one nice thing about being a programmer is that you can make the tools you want. I needed a “step 2” tool, and thus Pixort was born!
What Pixort is not:
Pixort is not an image editing tool, nor will it ever be. It will get some image editing similar tools like histogram, brightness/contrast and levels adjustment, but it is only intended for aiding photo judgment.
Pixort is not a photo archiving/organizing application. There are plenty of excellent tools out there that can do the job very well.
File types
At the moment, jpeg and Canon RAW (.crw/.thf) files are supported. Jpeg files are used in all digital cameras, while Canon RAW is used by most Canon digital cameras.
...for Canon 300D and 10D raw images, both the .crw and .thm files will be copied or moved together!
Enjoy! :D
