IDEA: Smart Directory Filer

[mouser]

I know there has been another request here before about a related thing, so maybe this idea can be combined with others.

In this case im thinking of a tool that would be useful for automatically making subfolders and filing files, based on overlap of filenames.

so for example, if i have in my dir:
Muisc\
dylan - 01 - boots of spanish leather
dylan - 02 - ring of fire
dylan - 03 - isis
heart of glass - blondie
dennis - blondie
the tide is high - blondie

and we ran the tool, it would result in:
Muisc\
dylan\
  dylan - 01 - boots of spanish leather
  dylan - 02 - ring of fire
  dylan - 03 - isis
blondie\
  heart of glass - blondie
  dennis - blondie
  the tide is high - blondie

OR alternatively:
Muisc\
dylan\
  01 - boots of spanish leather
  02 - ring of fire
  03 - isis
blondie\
  heart of glass
  dennis
  the tide is high

Hi Mouser
This was listed in Snapfiles a while ago and grabbed my interest, but I never really tested it
It appears to match all the requirements.

fileseive is interesting but as far as i can tell it really doesnt do what i want.
it creates subdirectories based on alphabet, like \A\, \B\ and sortes based on starting letter of file name.
where im looking for something smarter.
