JishAtlas Devlog #2

From Prototype to a Usable File Organizer

Since the first devlog, JishAtlas has grown from a basic AI prototype into a much more complete file organization tool.

What I Built

Added project detection for common software projects such as Python, React, C++, and other project types.
Improved the scanner with project roots, file information, content analysis, and passthrough directories.
Added Local AI using a quantized Qwen model through llama.cpp.
Added automatic Hugging Face model downloading and local model storage in %LOCALAPPDATA%\JishAtlas\models\.
Improved the AI prompt and JSON output for more consistent organization.
Added stronger handling of Windows paths and filesystem errors.
Improved Organized Copy and Organize in Place modes.
Expanded the Rich terminal interface with better previews, loading states, and summaries.
Added local Gemini API-key configuration using .env.
Started packaging JishAtlas into a standalone Windows executable with PyInstaller.
