If your desktop is always cluttered and filled with icons (like mine), here is a simple Python script to solve your issues. This Desktop Organiser creates folders (like photos, videos, music and more) and moves your files into it. Apart from this, a folder called ancient is created. Files older than a year (this duration can be configured) are moved into it. Studies done by @shobhit-coder show that most desktop files are typically those that are unused for a long time and users are typically lazy to move them around. The ancient folder is there to do just that. :P So, check your ancient files and move them if necessary.
python 3.x
- Clone this repository.
- Run script.py
- Optionally: You may change the directories and file extensions that are best suited for your needs. This can be done by modifying config.json.
- Factor in click frequency (rather than date last modified) to move files into the ancient directory.
- Sort shortcuts into various categories by searching them online.
