File Sorter

Usage

Use the program

Create new Rules

Modify the files CustomAnalyzers, CustomQueueItems and CustomRules

Analyzers are what look to files and directories, retrieve and register information about them. For example, their type, how many files inside a directory, ... For files they run once, for directories they analyze twice, one before and another after we look into the directory's content.

QueueItems are actions to perform to files and directories. For example, delete them, move them, rename them. They are processed at the end of everything.

Rules group the two above. They register the needed analyzers, then look into the registered info and queue or not items.

Run program

julia /path/to/src/FileSorter.jl /path/to/folder/to/sort <RULES>

Rules Syntax

<rule1> <arg1> <arg2>, <rule2> ...

Setup Example

(I've been mainly using it to keep my Downloads dir under control)

Clone the repository

Zsh

Add to .zshrc

export PATH_TO_FILE_SORTER=/path/to/FileSorter
export PATH_TO_FILE_TO_SORT=/path/to/sort
run_file_sorter() {
    julia $PATH_TO_FILE_SORTER/src/FileSorter.jl $PATH_TO_FILE_TO_SORT DeleteFilesByType deb zip, DeleteFilesByTypeCreatedSinceDays snap mp4 png jpg webp gz jpeg 240, DeleteFilesByTypeCreatedSinceDays pdf 365
}
run_file_sorter

Then you can also, through the use of the command run_file_sorter invoke the file_sorter
