My first python app: TidyBit - a simple file manager

Source: Dev.to

Introduction

I built my first Python app named TidyBit – a simple file organizer with a clean graphical user interface. It runs on both Windows and Linux platforms.

About TidyBit

Interface Overview

• Top section: Input fields for source and target folder paths.
• Middle: Information box that displays status messages.
• Below: Progress bar.
• Bottom: Action button.

Functionality

The app follows four straightforward steps:

1. Validation – Checks whether both the source and target folder paths exist.
2. Fetching Files – Displays the files found in the source folder.
3. Organizing Files – Identifies each file type and assigns it to a category.
4. Moving Files – Creates category folders in the target directory and moves each file to its corresponding folder.
