Photo organizer update

Thanks Nathan for making a clever patch to the photo organizer script:

Hello Patrick,

I stumbled accross your script for sorting photos and was
amazed.  Somehow, it hadn't occured to me to write such
a script.  I knew within immediately that there would be
one minor change I would need to make and I have
included it below.  I always name my folders as
YYYYMMDD, so that they will sort properly.  Thank you
for doing all the work on this simple, but wonderful
tool.  I am certain that I will use it quite regularly
for many years.

-- Nathan

      # Hopefully my only modification.  I do not
      # like this date format because it does not
      # sort correctly.  So, I have changed it to
      # my preferred format:
      #fdir = "#{fmonth}_#{fday}_#{fyear}"
      fdir = "#{fyear}#{fmonth}#{fday}"

The updated script can be found here:
