hello ! this is my project for the Frictionless mission !
i present to you , downsorter! it is a python PIP that helps you sort any folder's file contents into their respective categories in under a minute !

the main challenging part for me was making it into a pip , i had to see alot of guides and help for it , it genuinely made me think about abandoning this 🤧

im proud of my well-managed sorting script , as most don't manage it well and just name files off extensions , but i personally MADE SURE that whoever uses this looks at the folders made with satisfaction and not annoying folder names after sorting

BEFORE testing this project , make sure you have a good updated version of pip , and make sure to download this project by running :

pip install downsorter

nothing else , it downloads everything , for further usage , check my repo/readme!
more subtypes and folders soon , currently this is my first version ( excluding the failed one before this )
