About FastMediaSorter LITE
Three optional parts: a media viewer and sorter, a local SFTP folder-sharing service, and
a Media Exchange Server (in development, not released yet) - start with the viewer or with
the folder-sharing server, and add the rest only if you want it. This package installs the
viewer, with local sharing as an optional component that stays off until you switch it on;
the Media Exchange Server is still in development and is in no package.
Fast Media Sorter & Sharing for Windows is a fast, keyboard-driven viewer and sorter for images and
video on Windows - sort, view and share. Tick folders to browse, then move, copy, rename or
delete files with single-key hotkeys - built for photographers and creators who triage large media
folders quickly. It handles a wide range of formats, slideshow and random modes, EXIF auto-rotate, an
Ambilight-style background fill, and optional on-image OCR translation.
Sharing here means giving your own media to your own devices: the bundled Share Manager turns the PC
into a private SFTP server for the folders you pick, and the Android app pairs with it by QR code. It
is opt-in and stays off until you switch it on. The setup wizard lets you leave it out: the Compact
type installs the viewer without folder sharing.
The main program is now a 64-bit .NET 10 build that carries its own runtime - there is nothing extra
to install and no .NET Framework requirement. It replaces the previous version in place and keeps
your settings. Video always plays through the built-in VLC engine (H.264/MP4, AVI, MKV, VP9, ZMBV and
more), and static and animated WEBP images open on their own, without the Windows "WebP Image
Extensions" codec that some editions of Windows lack.
A 32-bit build with the same feature set ships alongside it for Windows 7/8.1 and 32-bit machines.
The installer picks the right one for your PC automatically and points the shortcut and file
associations at it, so there is nothing to choose. The 64-bit main program requires Windows 10
version 1607 or newer, Windows 11, or Windows Server 2016 or newer.
The interface is available in 13 languages - English, Russian, Ukrainian, German, Italian,
Spanish, French, Portuguese, Arabic, Hindi, Bengali, Urdu and Chinese - and picks the one your
Windows display language uses on first run; a button on the toolbar switches it at any time.
The bundled Share Manager speaks the same 13 languages and follows the same choice. Only
English, Russian and Ukrainian are proofread by the author; the rest are machine translations,
and corrections are welcome through the issue tracker. The setup wizard itself stays English.
