Features

• Timestamp-based Organization: Files are copied to the destination directory with folders structured according to their modification timestamps.
• Customizable Configuration: Use INI file to define source paths, destination folder formats, and handle specific file types.
• Concurrent Execution: Utilized multithreading for faster file copying.
• Dry-run Mode: Preview the file organization without actually making changes.

Installation

• Ensure you have Python 3.11.x installed
• Install project via pip: pip install sdcopy
