About

Categorise your files into Pictures, Documents, Music, Videos, Archived, Programming or as Others!

Pictures will be moved to /home/$user/Pictures for Unix-based systems or c:\user\username\Pictures for Windows, same goes for Documents, Music, Videos etc to their respective folders.

All the classes/methods will be imported under the package directory_organizer.

Further File types will be added to existing types to widen support.

Note :

• By default, Directory Organizer considers base Downloads Directory of your OS.
• If the File-type doesn't match with either of Pictures/Documents/Videos/Music/Archived/Programming file extensions, then it'll be moved to Others Directory.

This Package has been developed collectively by @rahulbordoloi and @SouravMzdr which has been published to PyPI.
