Arrange your files in distinct folder
Project description
ArrangePy
Organizes files in folders and helps you to clean your PC
What it does
Organizes the files based on their extensions in folders.
If you run the script in a directory containing hundreds of files of multiple filetypes, the script will arrange all of them in different directories based on the file type. For example, all PDFs are arranged in a directory for PDFs, all document based files (docx, doc, xlsx, pptx etc) are moved to the docs directory.
All these files are moved to a directory named CleanedPy in the directory on which the script was executed. So if you ran the script on your Downloads directory, a directory named CleanedPy will be created in Downloads.
You can specify which files to move to which directory using the config.ini file.
Features
Currently it has 2 modes
- Easy mode: Organzises files in the current directory
- Hard mode: Organizes files in the current directory and its subdirectories
How to use
git clone https://github.com/prashantsengar/ArrangePy.git
cd ArrangePy
Using the CLI (command-line interface)
usage: cli.py [-h] [-w | -s | -b] [-nw] [directory]
positional arguments:
directory The directory to arrange, default is current working
directory
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-w, --weak Weak arrange
-s, --strong Strong arrange
-b, --web Run web GUI
-nw, --no-warning Don't show any warnings when running strong arrange
Examples
python cli.py
(Arranges current directory, asks for type of arrange [WEAK/STRONG] )python cli.py -w
(Weak arranges current directory)python cli.py -w PATH/TO/DIRECTORY
(Weak arranges given directory)
Directly running the script
python main.py
Running the Web GUI
python -m webapp
# for the web interface- requires to install Flask for web interface. use
pip install flask
for the first time
- requires to install Flask for web interface. use
Editing the CONFIG file
Say the initial configuration is this:
[ext]
PDF=['pdf'],
Images=['png','jpeg','jpg','gif', 'tiff', 'psd', 'ico'],
This will move all PDF files to a directory named PDF and all images of mentioned extensions to a directory named Images.
To add a new file type
(say .eps) to the Images directory, add the new extension to the Images list. So it will change to:
[ext]
PDF=['pdf'],
Images=['png','jpeg','jpg','gif', 'tiff', 'psd', 'ico', 'eps'],
To add a new type of file (new directory)
Say you want to move all the video files along with PDFs and images. You can do that in this way:
[ext]
PDF=['pdf'],
Images=['png','jpeg','jpg','gif', 'tiff', 'psd', 'ico', 'eps'],
Videos=['mp4','mkv','avi','3gp'],
Now it will arrange all mp4, mkv, avi, 3gp files to the Videos directory.
Contributing
You can contribue to this project using multiple ways. Here are a few things that you can work on
- Improve this README to explain the idea better. GIFs can be added, for example.
- Adding extensions to the config.ini file will improve the experience for everyone.
- Improve the code, add new features or fix issues.
