Example

1. Organize by Extensions:

   • All files with the same extension (e.g., .txt, .jpg) will be moved to corresponding directories named after their extensions.

2. Organize by Categories:

   • Files are moved into predefined categories such as Documents, Images, Videos, etc., based on their extensions as defined in the extensions module.

Helper Functions

• get_extensions(): Collects unique file extensions from the source directory.
• create_directories(filtered_path): Creates directories in the target path based on collected extensions.
• move_files(path, filtered_path): Moves files to directories based on their extensions.
• check_which_folder_and_move(file_extension, file, filtered_path): Moves files to predefined category directories.
• move_files_version_category(path, filtered_path): Organizes and moves files into category directories.

extensions Module

Ensure you have an extensions module that defines the categories for file organization. An extensions.py might look like this:

text_formats_extensions = [
    "doc",
    "docx",
    "odt",
    "pdf",
    "rtf",
    "tex",
    "txt",
    "wpd"
]
video_extensions = [
    "3g2",
    "3gp",
    "avi",
    "flv",
    "h264",
    "m4v",
    "mkv",
    "mov",
    "mp4",
    "mpg",
    "mpeg",
    "rm",
    "swf",
    "vob",
    "webm",
    "wmv"
]

...

# extensions = lists contating each category of extensions / Name of the directory
extensions = [
    [text_formats_extensions,"DOCUMENTS"],
    [video_extensions,"VIDEOS"],
    [compressed_extensions,"COMPRESSED"],
    [internet_related_extensions,"INTERNET RELATED FILES"],
    [image_extensions,"IMAGES"],
    [exec_extensions,"EXECS"],
    [disk_extensions,"DISK RELATED FILES"],
    [audio_extensions,"AUDIO FILES"],
    [system_related_extensions,"SYSTEM RELATED FILES"],
    [spreadsheet_extensions,"SPREADSHEETS"],
    [presentation_extensions,"PRESENTATIONS"],
    [fonts_extensions,"FONTS"],
    [data_extensions,"DATA FILES"]
]
