It's here!
I hope it was worth the wait! The official v1.0.0 release is here, ready to sort your folders for you!
What is it?
AutoSortFolder (name pending) is a program that automatically sorts your folders for you!
It can be run in any directory.
- WARNING: Do NOT run in your root C/operating system directory. Not tested yet.
When opened, it prompts the user with a GUI window asking them for preferences (sorting method, color customization, auto-run, etc) and a sorting method (sort by alphabet, sort by extension, or custom sorting parameters). When a method is chosen, the main script is run and the folder will automatically sort everything contained within it besides the required app files. Alphabetical sort will create individual folders for each letter (and number), extension sort will create individual folders for most filetypes, and custom sort will create individual folders based on a user's input. It then moves the files into their respective folders (careful of overwriting/duplicates) with the same metadata as before (dupes will have a slight name change).
If you think that's it, oh no. The folder also updates in real-time on a loop, taking little processing power. Every second the folder checks for changes and, if found, sorts the file(s) into their respective folder for whatever method was chosen.
The app also comes equipped with a tray icon that can be used to pause the folder updates, resume the folder updates, and exit the program.
