A simple Python script to automatically organize files in any directory into clean, categorized folders.
- Automatic: Scans the folder it's in and sorts everything automatically.
- Customizable: Easily add new file types and categories by editing the script.
- Safe: Prevents data loss by renaming files if a file with the same name already exists in the destination. Includes a confirmation prompt before running.
- Cross-Platform: Works seamlessly on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
- Report Generation: Creates a detailed
organization_report.txt
file summarizing all actions taken.
- Download: Download the
remnizer.py
script. - Place: Move the
remnizer.py
file into the folder you want to organize (e.g., yourDownloads
folder). - Run: Open a terminal or command prompt, navigate to that folder, and run the script with Python:
The script will ask for confirmation before moving any files.
python remnizer.py
That's it! Your files will be moved into folders like Photos
, Videos
, Documents
, etc.
You can easily customize the file categories. Open remnizer.py
and edit the EXTENSIONS
dictionary at the top of the file:
# Easily add or remove extensions for each category.
EXTENSIONS = {
'Photos': {'.jpg', '.jpeg', '.png', ...},
'Videos': {'.mp4', '.avi', ...},
# Add a new category like this:
'Ebooks': {'.epub', '.mobi', '.azw3'}
}
