# Files Organizer 🗃️
Files Organizer is a versatile and efficient software solution, designed to seamlessly sort files within a folder and its subdirectories by moving them into folders named after their respective extensions. Developed in C, this user-friendly program, complete with a customizable Graphical User Interface (GUI), supports various platforms including Linux and MacOS, and is currently in its alpha stage of development.
This software is particularly invaluable when used in conjunction with data recovery processes on hard drives, enabling users to effortlessly locate and organize their recovered data. It brings structure and order to the often chaotic landscape of unsorted recovered files, providing a streamlined post-recovery experience.
I primarily utilize it as a supplementary tool for disk recovery, with plans for a more comprehensive software solution on this subject in the future. For users who prefer a simpler, GUI-free experience, a concise script is also available at [tiny file organizer script](https://github.com/SECRET-GUEST/tiny-scripts/tree/ALL/C/Files%20handlers/File%20organizer).

### 
Building for Windows using GTK is a more involved process. You'd likely need an environment like MSYS2 or Cygwin. It's recommended for now to focus on the Linux and MacOS builds unless you're willing to spend some time setting up a build system for Windows.
