onefile-organizer 0.1.1

Automatically organize your messy folders with smart file sorting

📂 OneFile - The Ultimate File Organizer

OneFile is a powerful, configurable file organization tool that automatically sorts your files into appropriate folders based on their types, names, and other attributes. It's designed to help you keep your digital life organized with minimal effort. It can run as a one-time organizer or as a background daemon that watches for new files.

✨ Features

• Smart File Organization: Automatically sorts files into appropriate folders by type (documents, images, videos, etc.)
• Custom Rules: Define your own file organization rules using simple JSON configuration
• Watch Mode: Run as a daemon to automatically organize files as they appear
• Duplicate Detection: Identify and handle duplicate files using content hashing
• Flexible Filtering: Filter files by size, age, and other attributes
• MIME Type Detection: Advanced file type detection beyond just extensions
• Cross-Platform: Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux
• Safe Operations: Dry-run mode to preview changes before applying them
• Progress Tracking: Real-time progress updates for large operations
• Logging: Comprehensive logging for troubleshooting and auditing

🚀 Quick Start

Organize Files Once

Organize files in a directory with a single command:

onefile --src ~/Downloads --once

Example Output:

[INFO] Starting OneFile v1.0.0
[INFO] Source directory: /home/user/Downloads
[INFO] Destination directory: /home/user/Downloads (same as source)
[INFO] Processing 15 files...
[INFO] Documents/PDFs: 3 files moved
[INFO] Images: 5 files moved
[INFO] Videos: 2 files moved
[INFO] Archives: 3 files moved
[INFO] Other: 2 files skipped
[INFO] Organization complete. Processed: 15, Moved: 13, Skipped: 2, Errors: 0

Watch a Directory

Automatically organize files as they appear in a directory:

onefile --src ~/Downloads --watch --interval 300

This will check the directory every 300 seconds (5 minutes) for new files and organize them automatically.

Dry Run (Preview Changes)

Preview what changes would be made without actually moving any files:

onefile --src ~/Downloads --once --dry-run

Example Output:

[DRY RUN] Would move: /home/user/Downloads/report.pdf -> /home/user/Downloads/Documents/PDFs/report.pdf
[DRY RUN] Would move: /home/user/Downloads/photo.jpg -> /home/user/Downloads/Images/photo.jpg
[DRY RUN] Would skip (duplicate): /home/user/Downloads/photo (1).jpg
[INFO] Dry run complete. Would process: 10 files (8 moved, 2 skipped)

    "recursive": false,
    "overwrite_existing": false,
    "skip_existing": true,
    "preserve_filenames": true,
    "date_format": "%Y-%m-%d",
    "log_level": "INFO"
  }
}

Using Configuration

# Use default config location (~/.config/onefile/config.json)
onefile --src ~/Downloads --once

# Specify custom config file
onefile --src ~/Downloads --once --config ./custom_config.json

# Override specific options from command line
onefile --src ~/Downloads --once --no-skip-existing --min-size 1M

Advanced Filtering

# Filter by size (supports K, M, G suffixes)
onefile --src ~/Downloads --min-size 100K --max-size 10M

# Filter by age (in days)
onefile --src ~/Downloads --min-age 1 --max-age 30

# Only process specific file types
onefile --src ~/Downloads --extensions .pdf,.docx,.xlsx

# Exclude hidden files and system files
onefile --src ~/Downloads --no-hidden --no-system

Handling Duplicates

# Skip duplicate files (default)
onefile --src ~/Downloads --duplicates skip

# Rename duplicate files with a suffix
onefile --src ~/Downloads --duplicates rename

# Move duplicates to a separate folder
onefile --src ~/Downloads --duplicates move --duplicates-dir _duplicates

# Delete duplicate files (use with caution!)
onefile --src ~/Downloads --duplicates delete

Watch Mode Options

# Watch directory and process new files as they appear
onefile --src ~/Downloads --watch

# Set polling interval in seconds (default: 300)
onefile --src ~/Downloads --watch --interval 60

# Process existing files on startup
onefile --src ~/Downloads --watch --process-existing

# Run in background as a daemon (Unix-like systems)
nohup onefile --src ~/Downloads --watch --daemon &

Output and Logging

# Set log level (DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL)
onefile --src ~/Downloads --log-level DEBUG

# Output results to a JSON file
onefile --src ~/Downloads --output results.json

# Generate a report after processing
onefile --src ~/Downloads --report report.html

Programmatic Usage

You can also use OneFile as a Python library:

from onefile.core import FileOrganizer

# Create an organizer instance
organizer = FileOrganizer(
    source_dir="~/Downloads",
    min_size="1M",
    max_size="100M",
    min_age_days=1,
    dry_run=True
)

# Run the organizer
stats = organizer.organize()
print(f"Processed {stats['processed']} files, moved {stats['moved']}")
