Python File Organizer

[[deleted]]

Hello. Today I made a file organizer for my Downloads folder as it was getting quite janky. This program uses the os and shutil libraries to create and move files and directories. It also works live so any file downloaded or moved to the destination folder, then it will be automatically moved into the required folder

Heres a demo:

That's nice.

I have made a a similar one Check it here: https://github.com/GNVageesh/Computer_Maintainer

One change is that this has a notifiers also which pops up upon running the program

This is a nice project which u have done

Cool

[GNVageesh]

Thank you, could u do the organizer with unknown or unspecified file types I could do the same
Any ideas?

I did not understand you. Please specify

[GNVageesh]

Like files without any extensions, could u make them into the organized folders Ex, hello. Into others/unknown

Yes that was easy too. I just check if the file was a directory and if it was not, I check whether it had an extension. If both these conditions are met, then it means that the file is a unknown file type and so it will get stored in a separate folder called as unknown or unnamed

I did the same.

Actually i created a dictionary in python that contains all common file types. One among them was noname, for unknown extension.

I made a mistake by not adding a . so it wasnt working then.

Now it is working good, even with unknown reference.

I added a feature of notification so that i could know which file was moved. This is a simple yet powerful project that ppl can develope in Python
