How to use clean-folder script?

You have to run from the command line:

clean-folder <path to folder you want to clean>

• if this folder is not exists, you'll see a message in console.

• The script sorts files according to file's extensions.

• Default folders are documents, images, video, audio and archives.

• if you want to set your own rules of sorting files you have to change extension_dict:

  extension_dict = {
    "documents": [".doc", ".docx", ".xls", ".xlsx", ".txt", ".pdf"],
    "audio": [".mp3", ".ogg", ".wav", ".amr"],
    "video": [".avi", ".mp4", ".mov", ".mkv"],
    "images": [".jpeg", ".png", ".jpg", ".svg"],
    "archives": [".zip", ".gz", ".tar"],
    }

• All files with relevant extensions will be moved to these folders;

• Other files will be replaced to folder other;

• if these folders were not exist its will be created;

• The script recursively checks all subfolders and replaces all files to destination folders;

• Empty folders will be deleted;

• Files with Cyrillic name will be renamed to Latin name;

• if subfolders involve the files with the same name, these files will be renamed - date-time will be added to file's name;

• All archives will be unpacked to subfolder with the name as archive's name in folder archive;

• if archive is broken, script will continue its work without unpacking this archive. In console you'll see message about this broken archive;

• When script finishes to clean folder, you'll see the report.
