File Organiser

This Python script helps you organise your cluttered files in a specified directory by categorising them into folders based on their file extensions. It utilises the Tkinter library for the graphical user interface (GUI) to select a folder for organisation and the os and pathlib libraries for file manipulation.

Usage

1. Clone or download this repository to your local machine.
2. Ensure you have Python installed on your system (Python 3.6+ recommended).
3. Install any required dependencies by running pip install tk if not already installed.
4. Run the script by executing python file_organiser.py in your terminal or IDE.

How It Works

1. The script defines a dictionary called Directories that associates various file types with their respective categories. For example, HTML files are categorised under "HTML," image files under "IMAGES," etc.

2. The script defines a FILE_FORMAT dictionary, which is generated from the Directories dictionary. It maps each file extension to its corresponding category.

3. The organise_junk function takes a base directory as input, scans the files in that directory, and moves them to their respective category folders based on their file extensions.

4. The select_folder_and_organise function uses the Tkinter library to open a file dialog that allows you to select the folder you want to organise. After selecting the folder, the organise_junk function is called to organise the files within that folder.

5. The script is set to run the select_folder_and_organise function when executed, so you can simply run the script, select a folder, and let it organise the files for you.

Supported File Types

The script supports the following file types and categories:

• HTML
• Images
• Videos
• Documents
• Archives
• Audio
• Plain Text
• PDF
• Python

Note

• Empty directories left after organising files will be automatically removed.
