Welcome to the Folder-Organizer-Tool wiki! This tool is useful for managing folders with lots of files. I mainly made it to handle my large emulator ROM collection. Works on Windows/Linux. It can work on Mac, but you will have to run it via Python. You can find the guide to the latest version here. You can find also find this under "pages" on the right.
I am not responsible for anything that goes wrong either due to bugs or user-negligence, so please back up your files if you're using this tool on anything important.
If you used the older versions and are wondering why the new version is a much larger file size, it's because I am no longer using C++ to write this. I switched to Python and the executables that are made using Python are just much bigger in size.

5/30/2021 - Fixed show directory to now refresh every time changes are made. Fixed a few text outputs that were not behaving correctly. - v0.7.2-alpha
6/17/2021 - Program was rewritten in Python. Extract extras (betas, demos, etc) feature added. UTF-16 unicode characters are now supported. You can now change directories without having to reopen the program. Colors were added to text (an uncolored version is provided for Windows users because it does not display properly on the native Windows command prompt). The ability to remove files via the program is no longer available. It's better to let the user manually do this instead. - v0.8.0-beta
6/17/2021 - Duplicate ROM grabber was grabbing more ROMs than it was supposed to. This has been fixed. Extract and Keep file functions now no longer grab folders. Weird case sensitivity issue that was present in 0.8.0 was also fixed. v0.8.1-beta
6/25/2021 - GUI Added. More tags added to 'Extract extras'. 'Extract extras' now categorizes the extra ROMs into their own folders. v0.9.0-beta
7/02/2021 - Quit button was added. The program now remembers the previous window size (only if you use the quit button). Exception handling implemented (will now ask what you want to do if a duplicate file is detected). "Extract extras" was not working 100% properly before, this was fixed. v0.9.1-beta
