Having created an electronic picture frame, I was stuck with the task of sorting through thousands of digital pictures to decide which ones were suitable for display. Manually examining such a large quantity of pictures is nearly impossible, but decimating the set, and then manually examining the subset for unsuitable pictures proves a much more workable solution.

This program will select and copy a subset of files from one directory to another while informing you of the required space. You can choose an even distribution or a random distribution. Adjust the slider to determine how many files are copied. Choosing a large number of files using the random distribution may take a while due to a simplistic algorithm.

Run this program by double clicking on it or from the command line using the syntax
 
    java -jar RandomCopier.jar
