I did a little bit of searching and surprisingly didn't find anything to do this (except for music-related circumstances), so here goes... I have a Downloads folder on my home server machine that is past 7GB and climbing (yes, I actually DO clean it out  ). I need a program that I can run that sorts the files into various folders based on their types (or file extensions, it doesn't matter one way or the other to me). It would need to be able to identify and place all of these file types into folders: - Folders (thereby making a folder of folders, but if the folder of folders already exists, don't put THAT folder into a new folder...
 ) - EXE
- MP3
- MP4/FLV
- ZIP/RAR/7z/JAR
- ICO
- PNG/JPG/GIF
- INI
- PDF
- and more, preferably in a (user stupid) editable format
In addition, INI files that have an EXE counterpart with the same name should both be placed in a folder with that name (for coding snacks and whatnot). Anyone able to take this? |

Skrommel's MoveOut might work for you. |

maybe tchikien's Dekstop Teleporter and/or lifehacker's Belvedere may offer some options. Note: Dekstop Teleporter link is down atm..  |

Reading your request I thought, I could use this application myself. Being a bit bored at work, I gave it a try. >un that sorts the files into various folders based on their types >It would need to be able to identify and place all of these file types into folders: Done >Folders (thereby making a folder of folders Done (but I'm not sure if that's what you want) >preferably in a (user stupid) editable format I tried (see the ini file) >INI files that have an EXE counterpart Done (good idea, btw) Please test it with few files until you trust it enough to let it on your 7 GB file archive. See attachment for compiled Authotkey script + source code. Edit: Here's a screen video: http://www.screentoaster....tUE5VSk1IR1pWQlVUX1NbU1dcEdit: Updated attachment (rev2) (found a tiny bug which didn't affect my work pc, but home pc... strange) Edit: Updated attachment (rev3). Just noticed it moved existing folders in existing folders... blame it on AHK's documentation or me, for not testing it. Edit: Updated (rev4). Feature request. |

Awesome! I'm downloading it now and will give it a go over the next couple days as I continue downloading and see how it fairs.  |

I hope it works for you. Please be sure to use the new version I just uploaded. Ah, I have yet to try it out, but am updating now I'll check that out now  EDIT: @wr975 Good looking app, testing it now, but why is direct input disabled for the two textboxes to specify the folders?  I changed the option myself (glad I know AHK) but it is worth mentioning that Windows takes FOREVER to open the Network computer list, so allowing direct input would be something I would allow by default. EDIT 2: After some failed testing, I disabled the Folders sub and it works great now (I guess it was trying to move the folders that MoveOut already had for me (exclude list might help?), so 6.5GB or so of processing isn't AHK's forte). One request: when it moves the EXE+other extension files to Apps, can it make a folder inside of Apps with the same name of the programs so that it doesn't become a mish-mash of Program/INI/Program/INI/Program/ICO... etc? Example: Downloads folder before any action:
MySuperProg.exe
MySuperProg.ini
MySuperProg.ico
Current setup:
Apps\MySuperProg.exe
Apps\MySuperProg.ini
Apps\MySuperProg.ico
Theoretic setup:
Apps\MySuperProg\MySuperProg.exe
Apps\MySuperProg\MySuperProg.ini
Apps\MySuperProg\MySuperProg.ico
I would try it myself, but I haven't worked with AHK for anything beyond basic scripts for a couple of years now |

Hi, the input boxes are disabled, because I'm just lazy. Entering paths by hand would mean, I've to check if it's accessable, writeable, and so on... But what about this: Now you can drag&drop files or folders on the Inputboxes. Cool?  Shame the folders did not work. I don't know what you mean with MoveOut. Never used this program. The EXE+other extensions is now doing this (rev4): If there's only one file (filename.exe) it'll be moved to "Apps" If there're more files (filename.exe + filename.other_extensions) they'll be moved to "Apps\filename". Cheers, |

Drag and drop works - didn't think of that! Basically on the folder thing: no fault of the program. I had made a set of folders to have MoveOut organize them to see how that worked, but then I switched to ILikeToMoveIt and what it was trying to (correctly) do, was move all those folders into the _folders directory. Downloading now |

Huh. I'm working on a similar app called SubDiv. I started before I knew about this app, and I wanted to do a folder sorting app my way. I hope nobody minds if I incorporate some of these ideas. |

No problem. It'd be nice to see this (with even more features) in a proper GUI. The AHK source is included.
