Welcome to the file-organizer docs!

NOTE: I probably won't touch this repo until mid April 2022, just fyi.

Am currently brainstorming what I need from file-organizer. Here are some things that come to mind:

Ability to organize a specified directory and its subdirectories as specified in a specification document.
- Not sure what a specification document would look like yet, but it will likely be something like YAML or something else.
- No, I don't expect everybody to come up with their own specifications. I hope to also provide a set of standard specification documents.
Ability to organize files according to file metadata.
- Don't know enough about how each type of file manages metadata, but filorg should be able to extract exif data from photos, frontmatter yaml from markdown, etc.
Ability to acknowledge versioned directories and warn against reorganizing them.
Warn when directories are out of compliance with a given specification
- point out where the directory organization is at fault
- suggest and be able to organize the directory if set to do so.
