Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is File Organizer?

A: File Organizer is a desktop application designed to automatically organize files in a chosen directory into type-based subfolders (e.g., 'PDF Files', 'JPG Files', 'ZIP Files').

Q: How do I install File Organizer?

A: For most users, simply download the executable from our Gumroad page, and run the application. Specific instructions vary slightly by operating system:

  • Windows: Double-click File Organizer.exe.
  • Linux: Make the AppImage executable (chmod +x File-Organizer-Linux.AppImage), and run it (./File-Organizer-Linux.AppImage).

Q: How do I use File Organizer?

A: It's straightforward:

  1. Click the "Browse..." button to select the folder you wish to organize.
  2. Click the "Organize Files" button to begin the sorting process.
  3. A confirmation message will appear, detailing the files that were moved.

Q: What happens if a file with the same name already exists in the destination folder?

A: File Organizer includes smart conflict resolution. If a file with the same name exists, it will automatically rename the new file to prevent overwriting (e.g., document.pdf might become document (1).pdf).

Q: Is it safe to use File Organizer?

A: Yes, it is safe. However, as with any tool that modifies your file system, we recommend exercising caution. Always double-check the selected directory before initiating the organization process. The application only moves files within the chosen directory and its newly created subfolders; it does not delete files or access other parts of your system.

Q: Can I organize specific file types only?

A: Currently, File Organizer sorts all recognized file types in the selected directory. Future updates may include options for more granular control over which file types to organize.

Q: What if my files aren't moving or the application isn't responding?

A: Please ensure you have selected a valid directory and that you have the necessary permissions to modify files within that directory. If the issue persists, try restarting the application. For further assistance, please use our contact form.
