File Sorter

This Python script automatically organizes files in a specified directory (e.g., your Downloads folder) into categorized subfolders based on their file types. The script supports a wide range of file extensions and can handle duplicates, empty folders, and logs its actions.

Features

• Automatic File Sorting: Moves files into categorized folders based on their extensions.
• Wide File Type Support: Includes categories like Images, Documents, Videos, Audio, Archives, Coding files, and more.
• Duplicate Handling: Renames files if a file with the same name already exists in the destination folder.
• Empty Folder Cleanup: Automatically deletes empty folders after sorting.
• Logging: Logs all actions (e.g., file moves, errors) into a file_sorting.log file.

Customization

You can customize the file types and categories by editing the file_types dictionary in the script:

file_types = {
    'Images': ['.jpg', '.jpeg', '.png', ...],
    'Documents': ['.pdf', '.docx', ...],
    ...
}

Add or remove extensions as needed to fit your specific requirements.
