CleanWrap v1.2.0

🧹 CleanWrap — Smart File Organization for Windows [v1.2.0]

CleanWrap v1.2.0 🎉

🤔 What's New

• Added staged duplicate detection for faster file organization.
• Files are filtered by size before any content hashing is performed.
• Same-size files are compared using a partial hash of their first and last 64 KiB.
• A complete FNV-1a hash is calculated only when the earlier checks match.
• Reduced unnecessary disk reads and hashing work for files that cannot be duplicates.

🔄 Periodic Update Checker

• CleanWrap checks GitHub for a newer release automatically.
• Update checks run once every seven days instead of on every startup.
• The check interval is stored in a small file under %LOCALAPPDATA%\\CleanWrap.
• A version change triggers a fresh check immediately.
• Network failures do not interrupt file organization.
• A Windows notification is shown only when a newer version is available.

📰 Project Architectural Logs:

🧩 Centralized Version Management

• The application version is managed from one shared Version.hpp file.
• The application, update checker, build script, release script, and installer use the same version.
• Installer names and release tags can be updated without changing several source files manually.

🛠️ Build and Compatibility Improvements

• Added the Windows WinHTTP dependency for secure GitHub release checks.
• Preserved the lightweight, one-shot workflow of the application.
• Kept update checking non-blocking for offline users through short request timeouts.

📂 Folder Structure

After running CleanWrap, your directory is automatically organized like this:

Downloads/

├── Images/
│   └── Duplicates_Images/
│
├── PDFs/
│   └── Duplicates_PDFs/
│
├── Videos/
│   └── Duplicates_Videos/
│
├── Audio/
│   └── Duplicates_Audio/
│
├── Code/
│   └── Duplicates_Code/
│
├── Documents/
│   └── Duplicates_Documents/
│
├── Zips/
│   └── Duplicates_Zips/
│
├── Executables and Installers/
│   └── Duplicates_Executables and Installers/
│
├── Others/
│   └── Duplicates_Others/
│
└── _CleanWrap.log

Note: Category folders are created only when files belonging to that category exist. Likewise, duplicate folders are created only if duplicate files are detected.

---

🔍 Smart Duplicate Detection

CleanWrap uses a multi-stage duplicate detection system.

① Content-Based Hash Detection

Every file is hashed using a fast 64-bit FNV-1a hashing algorithm.

If another file with the exact same content already exists, CleanWrap identifies it as a duplicate regardless of its filename.

---

② Windows Duplicate Filename Recognition

CleanWrap also recognizes common Windows duplicate filename patterns such as:

My File (1).pdf
My File (2).pdf
Holiday - Copy.jpg
Assignment - Copy (3).docx

These filename patterns are checked alongside file hashes before classifying a file as a duplicate.

---

③ Intelligent Duplicate Placement

When duplicate files are found:

• The original file remains inside its main category folder.
• Windows-generated copies such as (1) or - Copy are automatically moved into the corresponding Duplicates folder.
• If identical files have different names, the original file is preserved while later duplicates are isolated.

This keeps your directories clean without risking accidental loss of the original file.

---

📊 Cleanup Report

Every execution generates:

_CleanWrap.log

The report contains:

• Date & Time
• Cleanup session summary
• Total files handled
• Category-wise statistics
• Duplicate count
• Error count

Logs are appended instead of overwritten, preserving the history of every cleanup session.

---

⚙ Windows Integration

CleanWrap integrates directly with Windows.

Windows Explorer Context Menu

Right-click inside any folder and choose:

Organize with CleanWrap

CleanWrap instantly organizes the selected directory.

---

Windows Startup (Optional)

During installation you may enable:

Automatically organize Downloads when Windows starts

CleanWrap launches once during Windows startup, organizes the Downloads folder, generates a cleanup report, and exits automatically.
