Orgafold

Quickly navigate through a high number of files, perhaps obtained after a disk recovery.

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where there were 100,000 files in a folder, and you needed to make sense of them? Orgafold can help you determine how much space files with a specific extension, mimetype, or date take up. Alternatively, it can assist you in organizing them into folders if the existing directory structure lacks meaning. Never overwrites a file, appending a counter.

SOURCE '/src', TARGET '/target'
/src/blah1/file1 -> /target/2019/file1
/src/blah1/file2 -> /target/2019/file2
/src/blah2/file1 -> /target/2019/file1 (2)
/src/blah2/foo/file3 -> /target/2019/foo/file3

See orgafold --help for complete help.
