File Organization Feature #3

Open Ifhezu opened 8 months ago

Ifhezu commented 8 months ago

The File Organization feature in TaskManX allows users to specify a directory for organization and provides functions to scan the directory, categorize files based on their types, and move them into appropriate subdirectories. This feature aims to streamline file management and ensure a neat and organized directory structure for users.

Here are the key components and functionalities of the File Organization feature:

  1. Directory Specification:

    • Users can specify a directory within TaskManX where file organization will take place.
    • This directory can be set through the application's settings or through a dedicated configuration file.
  2. File Scanning:

    • TaskManX scans the specified directory and its subdirectories recursively to identify all files present.
    • The scanning process gathers information about each file, such as the file name, extension, and location.
  3. File Categorization:

    • TaskManX categorizes files based on their types, such as images, documents, videos, audio files, etc.
    • The categorization is typically based on file extensions or file signatures (in the case of unsupported file types).
  4. Subdirectory Creation:

    • For each file category, TaskManX creates a corresponding subdirectory within the specified directory.
    • These subdirectories serve as organized containers for the categorized files.
  5. File Moving:

    • TaskManX moves the categorized files from their original locations into the appropriate subdirectories.
    • The file-moving process ensures that files are placed in the correct subdirectory based on their category.
  6. Handling Duplicate Files:

    • TaskManX handles scenarios where duplicate files are encountered during the file organization process.
    • Options are provided to either rename the duplicate files, skip them, or prompt the user for further instructions.
  7. Error Handling and Feedback:

    • TaskManX provides informative error messages or warnings in case of any issues during the file organization process.
    • Users are notified about the progress of the operation and any actions taken (e.g., number of files moved, skipped, or renamed).
