Filify is a Python-based tool designed to automatically organize files in a specified directory (e.g., Downloads) based on their file extensions. It categorizes files into predefined folders, logs file movements, and supports undo functionality with commit IDs.
- Organize Files: Automatically sorts files into categorized folders based on their extensions (e.g., images, documents, media).
- Undo Functionality: Restore files by commit ID or undo the last N moves.
- Log File Movements: Keeps a log of all file movements with unique commit IDs for easy tracking and undoing.
- Cron Job Support: Schedule the script to run daily at a set time (e.g., 10 AM) using
cron.
- Organize Files: Simply run the script to organize files in the desired folder:
python3 filify.py
- Undo the Last N Moves: To undo the last N file moves:
python3 filify.py --undo <N>
- Undo by Commit ID: To undo a specific move by commit ID:
python3 filify.py --undo_commit <commit_id>
- Edit the
crontab
crontab -e
- Add the following cron job to run the script daily at 10 AM: (ref: cron-expression)
0 10 * * * /usr/bin/python3 /path/to/filify.py >> /Users/vikas.chaurasiya/Desktop/All/vikasc-personal/filify/cron.log 2>&1
- Save and Exit
Modify config.json to change the directory and file extensions as per your needs.
All file moves are logged in a filify.log file, with each action having a unique commit ID. This allows for easy tracking and undoing of specific file moves.
