## v3 is now available
The new version should be *much* faster and fix a lot of bugs. It also comes with
a some new actions, filters and options.
If you encounter any other bugs or problems during the migration, please reach out!
- [See the changelog](https://tfeldmann.github.io/organize/changelog/)
- [Migration guide](https://tfeldmann.github.io/organize/migrating/#migrating-from-v2-to-v3)
## About
Your desktop is a mess? You cannot find anything in your downloads and
documents? Sorting and renaming all these files by hand is too tedious?
Time to automate it once and benefit from it forever.
**organize** is a command line, open-source alternative to apps like Hazel (macOS)
or File Juggler (Windows).
### People use this for:
- Sorting and tagging pictures into various folder structures based on EXIF data
- Sorting and renaming PDF invoices based on file content
- Removing incomplete downloads from their ~/Downloads
- Cleaning up their ~/Desktop from unused files
- Freeing up disk space by removing duplicates
- Automating various business processes
- and many more
## Features
Some highlights include:
- Safe moving, renaming, copying of files and folders with conflict resolution options.
- Fast duplicate file detection.
- Exif tags extraction.
- Categorization via text extracted from PDF, DOCX and many more.
- Powerful template engine.
- Inline python and shell commands as filters and actions for maximum flexibility.
- Everything can be simulated before touching your files.
- Works on macOS, Windows and Linux.
- Free and open source software.
## Getting started
### Installation
Only python 3.9+ is needed.
Install it via your package manager or from [python.org](https://python.org).
Installation is done via pip. Note that the package name is `organize-tool`:
```bash
pip install -U organize-tool
```
This command can also be used to update to the newest version. Now you can run `organize --help` to check if the installation was successful.
### Create your first rule
In your shell, run `organize new` and then `organize edit` to edit the configuration:
```yaml
rules:
- name: "Find PDFs"
locations:
- ~/Downloads
subfolders: true
filters:
- extension: pdf
actions:
- echo: "Found PDF!"
```
> If you have problems editing the configuration you can run `organize show --reveal` to reveal the configuration folder in your file manager. You can then edit the `config.yaml` in your favourite editor.
save your config file and run:
```sh
organize run
```
You will see a list of all `.pdf` files you have in your downloads folder (+ subfolders).
For now we only show the text `Found PDF!` for each file, but this will change soon...
(If it shows `Nothing to do` you simply don't have any pdfs in your downloads folder).
Run `organize edit` again and add a `move`-action to your rule:
```yml
actions:
- echo: "Found PDF!"
- move: ~/Documents/PDFs/
```
Now run `organize sim` to see what would happen without touching your files.
You will see that your pdf-files would be moved over to your `Documents/PDFs` folder.
Congratulations, you just automated your first task. You can now run `organize run`
whenever you like and all your pdfs are a bit more organized. It's that easy.
> There is so much more. You want to rename / copy files, run custom shell- or python scripts, match names with regular expressions or use placeholder variables? organize has you covered. Have a look at the advanced usage example below!
## Example rules
Here are some examples of simple organization and cleanup rules. Modify to your needs!
Move all invoices, orders or purchase documents into your documents folder:
```yaml
rules:
- name: "Sort my invoices and receipts"
locations: ~/Downloads
subfolders: true
filters:
- extension: pdf
- name:
contains:
- Invoice
- Order
- Purchase
case_sensitive: false
actions:
- move: ~/Documents/Shopping/
```
Recursively delete all empty directories:
```yaml
rules:
- name: "Recursively delete all empty directories"
locations:
- path: ~/Downloads
targets: dirs
subfolders: true
filters:
- empty
actions:
- delete
```
<!--<details markdown="1">
<summary markdown="1">Advanced example</summary>
This example shows some advanced features like placeholder variables, pluggable
actions, limited recursion through subfolders and filesystems (FTP and ZIP):
This rule:
- Searches recursively in your documents folder (three levels deep) and on a FTP server
- for files with **pdf** or **docx** extension
- that have a created timestamp
- Asks for user confirmation for each file
- Moves them according to their extensions and **created** timestamps:
- `script.docx` will be moved to `~/Documents/DOCX/2018-01/script.docx`
- `demo.pdf` will be moved to `~/Documents/PDF/2016-12/demo.pdf`
- If this new is already taken, a counter is appended to the filename ("rename_new")
- Creates a zip backup file on your desktop containing all files.
```yaml
rules:
- name: "Download, cleanup and backup"
locations:
- path: ~/Documents
max_depth: 3
- path: ftps://demo:demo@demo.wftpserver.com
filters:
- extension:
- pdf
- docx
- created
actions:
- confirm:
msg: "Really continue?"
default: true
- move:
dest: "~/Documents/{extension.upper()}/{created.strftime('%Y-%m')}/"
on_conflict: rename_new
- copy: "zip:///Users/thomas/Desktop/backup.zip"
```
