A personal project to learn more about manipulating files by creating directories(Folders) and moving files into their respective groups by file extensions. It is also a cool way to flex that I can clean my files in an orderly manner and not have scattered files everywhere.
This program was developed by Chriscent Pingol.
This README describes version 2.0 of the File Organizer program.
If you have any recommendations and/or feedback contact me through gmail.
The File Organizer is a Java program designed to organize files into specific folders based on their file extensions. It allows you to specify a directory path, searches for files within that directory, and moves them to categorized folders.
- The program searches for files in the specified directory and its subdirectories.
- Each file is categorized based on its file extension and moved to the corresponding folder.
- The program supports various file extensions and assigns them to appropriate categories such as PDFs, Images, Documents, Data, Archives, Executables, Music, and Videos.
- If a folder for a specific category doesn't exist, it is created automatically.
- The program displays pop-up messages to inform you about the absolute path of the organized directory, folder creation status, and successful file movement.
