Copying current months images to a dedicated folder?



Folks;
unsure whether this is the best forum for my question - apologies if this is completely off here. I want to get photo management on my device a bit improved (thousands of images, several different camera and processing apps each of them storing to different folders). I am looking for an automatism, app, ... that does more or less the following:

* Run either on demand (which is ok for me) or periodically at the end of each month.
* Create a monthly image folder <YEAR>_<MONTH> in some configurable place, if not already existing. external SD would be best for this, but is not strictly required.
* Find all images taken (or processed) in the current month in a bunch of configurable folders (DCIM, Pictures, ...).
* Move all these findings over to the <YEAR>_<MONTH> backup folder.

I placed a similar question (http://forum.xda-developers.com/u/ta...al-sd-t3420418) in the Tasker forum but actually I am completely unsure whether I want/need Tasker, Automate or something like this to get this job done. Maybe some sync application, a "better" file manager, an image gallery, ... also can do that job. Important, however, would be for me that manual effort to get this done is pretty limited - I do not want to manually select and move a bunch of files but essentially an "icon", an app, ... that can be launched and does just that. ;)

TIA and all the best,
Kristian
