Sort your images by color, size, or name with ImageSorter

Ever wish you could easily view your entire photo gallery at a glance? Yeah, neither did we. It turns out that if you've got a few thousand images sitting in a folder, the only way to see them all at once is by using extraordinarily tiny thumbnails.
But if that's the sort of thing you're inclined to do, ImageSorter provides a way to shrink your entire photo collection to something that will fit on one screen. Fortunately, that's not all that ImageSorter does. The application also lets you sort your images by name, size, or date last modified. Probably the most impressive feature is the ability to sort your images by color and then visualize all of your photos on a plane or in a sphere.
You can zoom in as tight as you like to see your images up close and personal. And you can double click on an image to bring up a separate image viewer. We can't say that ImageSorter is anywhere near Picasa's league when it comes to image management software. But it's a neat toy that can provide literally seconds, maybe even minutes of distraction.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

This is *really* cool! Nice job!
I did find one JPG image that causes it to crash. It's 5x800 (width x height), 5.3 KB in size, fades from black (top) to blue (bottom). The crash is a simple "Runtime error!". I am on WinXP SP2. (When I re-launch the EXE, it tries to load the previous folder again, and crashes immediately again.)

Organizing images is kind of a pain, because I can't simply drag-drop them to another folder. (Drag moves the canvas, understandably. Cut/copy don't work on groups of images.) The only way is to use the context menu, which opens up a directory tree, which doesn't remember the last folder.
One other bug. If I do 2 or 3 moves in a row (2 or 3 groups of files), I sometimes get an error saying, "Moving failed for 24 files... Possible reason: destination files exist." It's as if it keeps previously-moved files selected, and tries to move them again, perhaps.
I sent my feedback via e-mail as well.
