A convenient, cross-platform file sorting system that sorts files based on their attributes, such as file type, file name, and date modified.

Disclaimer: Note that features may be added, revised, or removed at any time as this is in active development

Installation

Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/rayokamoto/cabinet cd cabinet Build with cargo cargo build --release

Usage

cab <command> [options] [<path>]

More in-depth information is available in the features documentation.

Commands

• type - Sort by file type (e.g. .jpg, .png, .pdf, etc.)
• date - Sort by date modified (before or after given date in YYYY-MM-DD format)
• name - Sort by name of file (by whether given pattern is in the name or not)
• size - Sort by size of file in KB (by whether file is smaller or larger than given size)

There are two options for sorting files: normal paths and path templates:

Using normal paths

When you run a command, you must provide a path/directory to sort. Relative paths also work - e.g. if you are in a directory with the folder projects, simply typing projects as your path will work.

No flags provided will default to using normal paths: cab type "C:\Users\User\Downloads" cab type "/home/User/Downloads"

Using templates

With templates, you can sort directories quickly. Invoke using the -t or --template option: cab type -t downloads Currently, the following templates are available: * Documents * Downloads * Desktop * Home directory (e.g. C:\Users\User\ or /home/User/) * Music (or Audio) * Pictures * Videos (or Movies)

Testing

For testing, such as generating test files to sort, Python is used. Python 3.7+ is recommended.
