Photographer needs an automated tool to sort and organize 9 years of unsorted photos on an external hard drive by device, date, and file type, removing duplicates.

Existing file organization tools are either manual, lack automated folder structure selection by device/date/type, or don't handle duplicates and mixed RAW/JPEG files well.
