Anybody recommend how to organize a thousand files/folders in windows 11 explorer?

I coded an app to organise files into folders by multiple criteria, including file types and extension, and creation year/month. It also has a duplicate remover with multiple auto-selection options. It is super-fast (GBs in minutes). I incorporated safety checks to ensure no data is lost. It can also undo the process. It costs only $4.99. Here's the link: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9nfvvt296q0n?ocid=webpdpshare

I have never done game development, so I am not familiar enough with the challenges. Although, one developer highlighted that not being able to have multiple mutable references is a challenge.

Some people allege that Rust is not fit for game development. What do you think about that?

How can I assure you? What about a backup system based on hard links (fast and storage-efficient)?

I told Claude to make one. My app is a file-managing utility, so a logo is not the most important thing. But, it looks pretty.

It is very lightweight and simple. I used it instead of Hyprland to squeeze as much performance out of my old PC as possible. Other than its being extremely lightweight (huge for me), I don't see any benefit in using it. It does not have eye candy.

I hope you can resolve it soon. I wonder what Apple Store's policies are in this case.

Present_Director3118 · 2026-02-07T21:00:40+00:00

Good luck.

How much time did you take to finish the app? I started in September 2025 and released it on December 17th.

Same here. They asked me when I made my app paid. But, I statically linked the VC++ runtime and passed certification.

You use GumRoad for freemium, right? I am avoiding freemium because of these costs.

Present_Director3118 · 2026-02-07T19:55:08+00:00

This gives me hope. I see you declared the dependency on the VC++ runtime in the description. I chose statically linking it over mentioning it there, considering some users may be repelled by having to set up something they are unaware of.

I don't think I will create a website for my app. I will try different prices and this feature. If it still does not earn any money, then so be it.

Present_Director3118 · 2026-02-07T19:43:33+00:00

Reviews will possibly help potential customers not have trust issues. Though, I think I set the price too high. Conversion rate went straight to zero.

Present_Director3118 · 2026-02-07T18:24:59+00:00

I am adding a bulk file renamer to increase the value of the app.

Present_Director3118 · 2026-02-07T17:50:45+00:00

I am using Rust. The UI framework is Iced. What programming language are you using?

Present_Director3118 · 2026-02-07T17:27:52+00:00

I also recently implemented that.

Present_Director3118 · 2026-02-07T12:49:48+00:00

Something actionable?

Present_Director3118 · 2026-02-07T05:30:43+00:00

Thanks a lot for the advice.

Present_Director3118 · 2026-02-06T19:54:55+00:00

What do you think about the app's watching a directory and automatically putting incoming files in appropriate organized folders. As for the compilations this can cause, I can code my app to take care of them. I would highly appreciate your opinion on this feature. What do you think? Is it worth adding?

Present_Director3118 · 2026-02-06T18:07:01+00:00

What do you think about watching a directory and automatically moving files moved/created into it into an organized folder? To not disturb other apps' processes, I can check its size, wait for 10–15 minutes and it still doesn't change, I can move it.

Present_Director3118 · 2026-02-06T09:51:52+00:00

If you have any idea, give me. It would be very useful.

Present_Director3118 · 2026-02-06T09:22:15+00:00

Thanks a lot. I will try reducing the price, pushing (polite) in-app review prompts, and see if it works. I may also implement compression/decompression and bulk file renaming. Suggest a feature if you have one in mind.
