File Sorter

The File Sorter is a Python script for automatically sorting the files in a directory by their formats. It goes through each file in the directory and its subdirectories, identifies the file type based on its extension, and moves the file to a directory for that file type.

Features

  • Automatic file sorting based on the file extensions.
  • Creation of directories (if they don't exist) for storing sorted files.
  • Shows a progress bar indicating the progress of the sorting process.

File Types

The script currently sorts files into the following categories:

  • Videos
  • Images
  • Documents
  • Music
  • Archives
  • Code
  • Spreadsheets
  • Others (for file types that don't fit into the above categories)

Dependencies

The script depends on the following Python libraries:

  • os
  • shutil
  • tqdm

Usage

  1. Install Python on your machine if you haven't already.
  2. Make sure the dependencies are installed. You can install them using pip:
pip install tqdm
  1. Open the script and replace /path/to/files in directory_path = "/path/to/files" at the end of the script with the path to the directory you want to sort.
  2. Run the script in a Python environment:
python file_sorter.py

The script will sort all the files in the specified directory and its subdirectories.

Note

The script moves the files to their respective directories. Ensure that you have a backup of the files in case anything goes wrong. You are solely responsible for any data loss.
