into sub-folders labelled either "Portrait", "Landscape" or "Square" depending
on the orientation of the picture.

This program has the following features:
- Easy to use, there are no configuration settings to change.
- Moves JPEG and GIF pictures.

Limitations / Known Issues
This program has the following limitations or known issues:

- The program (incorrectly) avoids examining BMP, ICO, RLE and WMF files.
- It can probably be made to run faster due to the way folder creation is handled.

Future updates will, where possible and assuming demand, attempt to resolve these.
