A quick and simple way to organize your messy folders.

Messy Folder Organizer works by automatically categorizing and moving all the files inside a folder based on their extensions.

• Just files are moved, not folders.

• A log file is generated at the end to help visualizing which files were moved where.

It does that through a simple .json file located at resources/configs/extensions.json

Just download the zip at Releases, extract and run the .exe file. No installation needed.

Yes! In other words, you need just Messy-Folder-Organizer.exe to run this app. To uninstall, just delete it.

• However, the app generates local configuration files when executed.

  • If it's not needed to change supported extensions, you can delete all of those.

  • Otherwise, you should keep those files together.

First, open the command-line and check your Python version. This app was made using Python 3.9:

py --version

Now, install virtualenv if you don't have it:

py -m pip install virtualenv

Clone the repository and change the directory to it:

git clone https://github.com/WyllerMachado/Messy-Folder-Organizer.git
cd Messy-Folder-Organizer

Create a virtualenv for the project, then activate it:

py -m venv venv
.\venv\Scripts\activate

Install project dependencies:

py -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Done. Now you can run the app typing:

py main.py

cd Messy-Folder-Organizer
.\venv\Scripts\activate

cd compile
.\compile.bat

• The folder containing the generated .exe file will be opened automatically

Inside Messy-Folder-Organizer virtualenv, change the directory to compile folder and run pyinstaller:

cd compile
pyinstaller -w --onefile ..\main.py --icon app.ico --name Messy-Folder-Organizer

• The generated .exe file will be in .\compile\dist folder.
