...A suggested method to sort CR2 files into sub-folders based upon each file's Exif:ISO value using Exiftool & ExiftoolGUI...
Introduction...
My Canon EOS-350D is set to record "RAW+JPEG" files, so a camera download to a 'source' folder will have both CR2 and JPG files. The suggested options will create sub-folders, ISO_100 .... ISO_200 .... ISO_400, etc, as needed based on each CR2's Exif:ISO value and move that CR2 file to the appropriate sub-folder... ...leaving the JPEG files in the source folder.
If you want the JPEG files to be moved appropriately as well, add -ext JPG to the suggested ExiftoolGUI Command box text...
Suggested...
Option list text for the ExiftoolGUI -> ExifTool direct -> Command box:
-o . "-Directory<ISO_$Exif:ISO" -ext CR2
where:
-o . -- creates a sub-folder(s) in the source folder.
"-Directory<ISO_$Exif:ISO" -- names destination sub-folder(s) "ISO_<number>", ie, ISO_100; ISO_200; ISO_400; ISO_800; ISO_1600; ISO_3200; etc., as applicable.
-ext CR2 -- moves only CR2 extension files to the appropriate ISO number-ed sub-folder.
Drag/drop files from Window's Explorer (an announced future update to PWP7.0.10) or from PWP's Browser into specific ISO based workflows...

For a 'source' folder containing many image files and mixed extensions [tif, jpg, cr2, etc.]
whose ISO is also mixed, one could copy/paste the following text:
-if "$Exif:ISO ne 100" -if "$Exif:ISO ne 200" -if "$Exif:ISO ne 400" -o / -Directory="ISO_800_or_greater" -ext CR2
into the ExiftoolGUI v5.15 'ExifTool direct Command' box and enter after selecting an image file or all the image files in the 'source' folder.
For my Canon EOS-350D whose ISO settings below 800 are 100, 200, and 400... ...this would move any CR2 file with an ISO 800 or greater into a newly created sub-folder named 'ISO_800_or_greater' located in the 'source' folder.
Note: if you encounter a system access violation for 'ExiftoolGUI.exe', OK the dialog, close the program and re-open it to update its browser and view the newly created sub-folder with ExiftoolGUI.
