| 3 | def Requirement(direntry) | Indicates which files need to be included in the search report |
| 4 | SORT | Indicates how the files are sorted |

| Path | Path, including filename |
| Size | Filesize |
| Created | Date and time when the file was created |
| Modified | Date and time when the file was last modified |

| Exifdate | For photo's: Date and time when the photo was taken |
| Width | For images: the width of the image in pixels |

This script uses the following libraries:
| exifread | to import exif data (date, width, height) from Exif data of photo's |

| pyperclip | to export the results to the clipboard |
These libraries are only called if needed (if no photo data is requested, libraries do not need to be installed)
