batch-work: A Tool to Organize and Rename File

Introduction

This is a command-line utility tool written in Python that helps you organize and rename files in a directory. It sorts files into different folders based on their file extensions and renames files with a specified prefix.

Features

1. File sorting: The script sorts files into the following categories:

   • Image files (.jpg, .png, .gif, etc.)
   • Audio files (.mp3, .wav, .flac, etc.)
   • Video files (.mp4, .avi, .mov, etc.)
   • Document files (.pdf, .doc, .txt, etc.)
   • Other files

2. File renaming: The script renames files in a directory with a specified prefix and sequential numbers.

3. Deleting empty folders: The script will delete all empty folders and sub-folders for a given directory.

Usage

1. File sorting: To organize files in a directory by type:

   bw_sort <directory_path>
   

Replace <directory_path> with the target directory path. It's recommended to run this command from the parent directory.

2. File renaming: To add a prefix to all files in a directory:

   bw_rename <prefix> <directory_path>
   

Replace with the desired prefix and <directory_path> with the target directory path. It's recommended to run this command from the parent directory.

3. Deleting empty folders: To remove all empty folders within a specified directory:

   bw_delempty <directory_path>
   

Replace <directory_path> with the path to the parent directory you want to clean up.
