Thank You

I would like to thank all of the contributors who are improving this project. I really appreciate your efforts. This project started when I was in college and I never thought it would turn into anything. Seeing all you guys add features and fix the errors that I couldn't is really encouraging. Thank you so much!

OrganiseDesktop

Takes all the files on your desktop and put them in folders according to extensions. NO MORE MESSY DESKTOPS! At least not on the outside :)

Getting Started

The setup file is not yet configured (work in progress). To run the program, download the repo and install the required packages then run the Clean.py file.

Technologies Used

Python 3.7

Python Libraries Used

Demo

The buttons are Clean, Exit, Undo, Schedule, Remove Schedule and do exactly as they are implied.

Clean - will move the files to the correct folder based on extension. If the folder does not exist, it will create one.
Exit - will close out of the program
Undo - undos where the files were placed in the folders when Clean was used
Schedule - schedules when the program will run every day in the users command line/ terminal
Remove Schedule - removes the previously established schedule

Prerequisites

Running a Virtual Environment

All the necessary packages are mentioned in requirements.txt. They can be installed by running pip install -r requirements.txt or using pipenv install and it will automatically detect the requirements.txt and setup an enviroment for you. For development purposes, I suggest you create a virtual environment or use a dependency manager like pipenv to keep a clear state, separate from your own setup.

To create a virual environment yourself in pipenv, follow the steps below:

Make a project directory mkdir project && cd project where "project" would be the name of the project
Initiate the virtual environment pipenv --three
Start the virtual enviroment pipenv shell
If the pipenv install does not work, insert the following pipenv install -r requirements.txt
To exit the virtual environment run exit

The activate.sh script has been provided to ensure a standard development environment. To create the environment if it doesn't already exist, or simply load it otherwise, run source ./activate.sh

You can also use docker in combination with pipenv, here you have an example.

Not Running from Virtual Environment

If you do not want to create a virtual environment, just run the pip command above and ignore the following. Otherwise, the activate.sh script will handle the creation and loading of the virtual environment with all the necessary dependencies. Furthermore, once a new dependency is established, remove requirements.txt and please run pip freeze > requirements.txt to generate a new file that should be committed to version control.

Python3 Instructions: python -m venv organise_desktop

To activate it, run source organise_desktop/bin/activate

Build from Source

$ git clone https://github.com/blavejr/OrganiseDesktop.git Navigate to the repo and run the following command: $ pip install -r requirements.txt
