Organizer

This is a small Python project that organizes all files in a folder into subfolders based on their extensions. I always had a mess with files in my Download directory. Now I just have to run main.py and files will be sorted into subfolders according to their file types.

Usage

Download the repository and place it in the desired directory. It will organize the parent (../) directory

Parent Directory
└───   organizer
│   │   __init__.py
│   │   main.py
│   │   handler.py
│   file1.jpg
│   file2.pdf
│   ...

Now, open a terminal in the organizer directory and run:

python main.py

How to change

Directory name

To change a directory name, modify the value in the type_to_directory_name to the desired value. For example:

type_to_directory_name = {
    'text': 'Texts',
}

can be changed to:

type_to_directory_name = {
    'text': 'NewText',
}

Add new extension

To add a new extension, edit extension_to_handler in FileHandlerDispatcher:

self.extension_to_handler = {
            ...
            'stl': '3d'
        }

And add the corresponding folder name:

type_to_directory_name = {
    '3d': '3D Files',
}
