Program to Sort Hard Drives and Queue up moves?
22 drives connected to your main computer via who knows how (usb?) Https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l60MnDJklnM Anyway I have used dropitfor some automated sorting it may help you it may not depending on what you're trying to sort and move. Source: about 1 year ago
Best fast file copier?
Hiya, you got your script I see. If you are having problems making that work, you should go the easy route and install DropIt from the dropitproject.com. Once installed, make a copy task. Anything that ends with *.jpg *.bmp or whatever gets copied to your new folder. Then drag your folder to the dropit icon and click it to process. It is weird the first time you see it. It is like a visual batch/script icon. Source: over 1 year ago

Hazel for Linux
The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is https://github.com/benjaminoakes/maid. But the rules are created in Ruby which is not really easy for some users. And as far as I know there is no graphical user interface. Source: about 2 years ago
Action on folder
On Mac there is (was?) Hazel, the closest thing on Linux is tfeldmann/organize: The file management automation tool., it uses Python. An alternative would be benjaminoakes/maid: Be lazy. Let Maid clean up after you, based on rules you define. Think of it as "Hazel for hackers"., but it uses Ruby, which I don't know. Source: over 2 years ago
