=============================================================== EmberSort

EmberSort is a simple and powerful Python module that automatically organizes files in a folder into categorized subfolders based on their file types.

It works on Windows, macOS, and Linux. You can use both backslashes () and forward slashes (/) in paths — no need for raw strings (r"").

INSTALLATION

If uploaded to PyPI: pip install EmberSort

If using locally: 1. Place "ember_sort.py" in your project folder. 2. Import and use it directly in your Python script.

USAGE

Example usage:

from ember_sort import organise

organise("C:\\Path\\To\\Your\\Folder")
organise("C:/Path/To/Your/Folder")   # Works too!

The function will automatically create categorized folders and move files accordingly.

FUNCTIONS

1. createFolder(path)

   Creates a folder if it doesn’t already exist.

   Parameters: path (str) — The folder path to create.

   Example: createFolder("C:/Users/Example/Documents/Images")

2. moveFile(filePath, folderPath)

   Moves a file to a target folder. If a file with the same name already exists, the new file is automatically renamed.

   Parameters: filePath (str) — The file to move. folderPath (str) — The folder where it should go.

   Example: moveFile("C:/Downloads/file.txt", "C:/Downloads/text_documents")

3. categorize(filePath, baseFile)

   Detects the file type and moves it into the correct category (e.g., images, videos, audio, etc.). Files that don’t match any category are placed in an "others" folder.

   Parameters: filePath (str) — Path of the file. baseFile (str) — The main folder containing the file.

   Example: categorize("C:/Downloads/photo.jpg", "C:/Downloads")

4. organise(baseFile)

   Organizes all files in the given folder into categorized subfolders. This is the main function you’ll use.

   Parameters: baseFile (str) — The folder path to organize.

   Example: organise("C:/Downloads")
