description

this program sorts files by moving them into and between numerically named directories. first it searches upwards to see if a numeric directory name exists in path, if yes, then only the file hierarchy under that number is moved into a directory with the given number. if no numeric directory exists in path, a numeric directory is created in the current working directory and given paths are moved under there.

examples:

cwd: /
rate 2 /a/0/b/c -> /a/2/b/c

cwd: /
rate 2 /a/b/c -> /2/a/b/c

cwd: /a/b
rate 2 /a/b/c -> /a/b/2/c

custom thunar right-click-menu actions

option: manually add with commands like this

rate 1 %F

option: insert the ready-made code

this adds five new right-click commands in thunar:

• rate 1
• rate 2
• rate 3
• rate 4
• rate 5

insert the contents of other/uca.xml between the action and /action tags in $HOME/.config/Thunar/uca.xml.
