automation bash bash-script download-manager script

Download manager script

This bash script clean your download folder for you by putting files in subfolders

It's a very simple script but is nevertheless super handy if your download folder is a jungle

currently supported extentions

Jar / iso / img / zip / mp3 / mp4 / deb / pdf / odt / wav / image / raw / txt / jpg / png / gif and a few more...

UPDATE !

The script now check file type with the file command and not with the extention, this mean that virtualy every file type is supported, support will extend with time as I update the script

The script now support file with the same name at the destination folder, it will no longer replace it but instead rename it filename#<number>.

To be added

basic file sorting
renaming files containing spaces
auto service setup (enable on startup)
Add an "old" folder for added clarity in subfolders
support files with the same name
support advanced customisation
add clear uninstall script
add support for every type of file (need to rewrite a large portion of the code)
translate logs in English (currently in french)
