What you suggest is actually very interesting.
One issue we could have with that is that Tidier is mainly based on UTI (Uniform Type Identifier), provided by macOS itself.
But, I guess, we could provide the option to the users to forcefully e.g. re-interprete a specific file (by file extension) as some different, or have different categorization settings supersede the default ones, in case e.g. a file ends up in the "Other" folder.
Very interesting! I'm noting it down! 😉
Writing the reorganization back to disk can sometimes be very helpful.
BUT it can also fail to recognize some files - - - e.g. document types .odt, .nb, and .xy; and it places some things in inconvenient categories - - - e.g. .HLP files as "other" rather than combining them with executables.
Maybe I'm just asking whether it is feasible to allow user-created categories in addition to, or as a replacement for, the built-in categories.
