The program is straightforward to use. It begins by displaying a folder browser to select the root folder that contains the files that the user wants to move into subdirectories. The number of files per subdirectory need to be specified in the second and last step of the process.

The software program will then move all files that are stored in the root folder into subdirectories. The folders are numbered starting by 1.

Dir split is a specialized application that can be downloaded from the developer’s website over at Codeplex. It is compatible with most 32-bit and 64-bit Microsoft Windows operating systems including Windows 7.

This can be handy in situations where files usually land in an upload directory with limited space or to automatically transfer files from a directory to another on the computer’s hard drive. P2P users might also like the idea of moving finished downloads from the download directory to another directory.

Move Out uses rules that specify names and extensions that should be moved automatically from monitored folders to others. The process of setting up rules does not take long with the changes taking effect immediately. The user configuring the rules has to add a source and destination folder as well as names and file extensions that should be moved and optionally those that should be ignored. Wildcard usage is possible with the easiest being *.* which will move all files that appear in the source folder to the destination folder. File replacement rules can be set as well in case a file with the same name exists in the destination folder.

The program will check for matching files every three seconds by default. This value can be changed in the options of the program to in case a faster or slower speed is required.
