Good to know

• Undo reverses the last cleanup of a folder only.
• After a cleanup, a small file called .downsweep_log.json is saved inside the folder. That is how undo remembers what moved. Please don't delete it if you want to undo.
• Only files directly inside the folder are sorted. Existing sub-folders are left alone.
