Setup

You can install this package from:

From PIP:

pip install pyFolderOrganizer

Usage

Basic Example

import pyFolderOrganizer

path = "path/to/be/organized"
organizer = pyFolderOrganizer.FolderOrganizer(path)

Observer Mode

Package offers "Observer Mode" that listens for any file created in the directory that the organizer is set to. Creates a thread and when a new file is detected, is automatically moved to the corresponding folder depending of the file extension.

organizer = pyFolderOrganizer.FolderOrganizer(path, observe=True)

Enable/Disable Windows Toasts

Set the notifications argument to True to enable windows notifications on startup and when a file gets organized. Clicking the notification opens an explorer window to the corresponding path. This is turned off by default.

organizer = pyFolderOrganizer.FolderOrganizer(path, notifications=True)

Enable/Disable Console Printing

By default, the package prints messages on the console, equivalent to the notifications. This can be turned off by setting the printing argument:

organizer = pyFolderOrganizer.FolderOrganizer(path, printing=False)
