Hey I think your script could be even better with a requirements.txt

[8bignic8]

i know there are not much requirements but it would be good practice and also a python Version would be nice :).

supports now python 3.10.7 and more than tiff if you want to integrate it thats up to you :):

`"""
Main script for sorting images in a folder into subfolders. This script launches a GUI which displays
one image after the other and lets the user vote for different given labels from a list given as input to the
script.
