File Organizer

A Python script that automatically organizes files into folders based on their file extensions.

Description

This script simplifies file management by automatically sorting files in a specified directory into organized folders. It categorizes files such as images, documents, software, and archives, creating a clean and structured file system. This helps to reduce clutter and improve workflow efficiency.

Features

Automatic File Sorting: Organizes files based on their extensions.
Customizable Folders: Defines folder names and corresponding file extensions in a dictionary.
Directory Creation: Automatically creates necessary folders if they don't exist.
Efficient File Movement: Uses shutil.move() for fast and reliable file transfers.
Clear Output: Prints messages indicating which files have been moved and where.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Python 3.x installed on your system.

Installation

Clone the repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/haelahpx/FileCategorizer.git

Navigate to the project directory:
```
cd FileCategorizer
```

Usage

Modify the source_folder variable: Open the Python script and change the source_folder variable to the path of the directory you want to organize.
```
source_folder = r"C:\Users\user\Downloads" # Example
```

Customize the extension_map dictionary (optional): Modify the extension_map dictionary to add, remove, or change folder names and file extensions.

extension_map = {
    "Images": [".jpg", ".png", ".gif"],
    "Documents": [".pdf", ".docx", ".xlsx", ".pptx"],
    # ... your custom mappings
}

Run the script:
```
python your_script_name.py
```
Replace your_script_name.py with the actual name of your Python file.
The script will create folders (if needed) and move files accordingly, printing messages to the console.
