pickitup 1.0

Organize files with one simple command

PickItUp

Super-simple way to categorize files in a messy directory. And it's only 4 KB!

PickItUp can categorize files by:

• File type(video,photo,archive etc.)
• Size of file
• Last modification date

How To Install

1. If pip is not installed sudo apt install pip3
2. Install pickitup package with pip3 install pickitup
3. Open your folder in terminal and run pickitup (Don't run program in /home folder :) )

How It Works:

1. Lists all files in directory (os.listdir)

files = os.listdir(os.curdir)
filelist = []
for f in files:
    filelist.append(f)

2. Takes user input for category type

print("PickItUp 1.0\nCommands:\n ext: Folder by extension\n date: Folder by modification date\n size: Folder by file size\n quit: Quit PickItUp")
action = input("> ")

• By file extension

for file in filelist:
    filename ,file_extension = os.path.splitext(file)
    for category in types:
        if file_extension in types[category]:
            dst_path = "./" + category + "/" + file
            src_path = "./" + file
            try:
                shutil.move(src_path, dst_path)
            except:
                pass

• By file size (<1MB for example)

for file in filelist:
    file_source = "./" + file
    file_size = os.stat(file_source)
    if file_size.st_size < 1000000:
        if os.path.exists("./Less Than 1 MB") == False:
            os.makedirs("./Less Than 1 MB")
        try:
            shutil.move(file_source, "./Less Than 1 MB/"+file)
        except:
            pass

• By modification date

for file in filelist:
    file_source = "./" + file
    file_mod_date = time.localtime(os.path.getmtime(file_source))
    folder_name = calendar.month_abbr[file_mod_date.tm_mon] + " " + str(file_mod_date.tm_year)
    folder_path = "./" + folder_name
    if os.path.exists(folder_path) == False:
        os.makedirs(folder_path)
    try:
        shutil.move(file_source, folder_path)
    except:
        pass
