A Python script designed to automatically sort and organize files from the "Downloads" folder into specific folders based on their type (e.g., images, audio, video). This script aims to declutter and manage files effectively on your PC.
- Basic File Handling: Identifies and moves files based on their type (e.g.,
.png,.jpg,.mp3,.mp4) to designated folders. - Categorization and Organization: Automatically sorts files into specific folders (like "Images", "Audio", "Videos") based on their MIME types.
- User Input and Flexibility: Planned future feature to allow user-defined rules for file sorting.
- Error Handling: Planned improvement to handle errors gracefully during the file sorting process.
- Graphical User Interface (GUI): Optional enhancement to provide a user-friendly interface for the script.
- Implement basic file handling to move files.
- Categorize and organize files based on their MIME types.
- Add user input functionality for customizable file sorting.
- Implement error handling for robust operation.
- (Optional) Develop a GUI for easy interaction.
