Directory Organiser Script

Overview

This Python script categorises files in a given directory based on their file type. The script automatically sorts files into specific folders such as Images, Documents, Miscellaneous, Videos, Code, Design Files, and Music. The organisation process only affects files that are not already contained within a folder.

Supported File Types

• Images: .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif, .svg, .tiff, .bmp, .webp
• Videos: .mp4, .mov, .avi, .mkv, .flv, .wmv, .webm
• Music: .mp3, .wav, .flac, .aac, .ogg, .m4a
• Documents: .pdf, .docx, .doc, .xlsx, .xls, .txt, .rtf
• Design Files: .psd, .ai, .indd, .sketch, .blend, .obj, .fbx
• Code: .py, .c, .js, .css, .html, .java, .xml, .cpp, .json
• Miscellaneous: Files that do not match the above categories will be moved to a Miscellaneous folder.
