This piece of software is my personal file and backup management tool.

So um... What does it do?

I'm still writing this tool and figuring out all of its uses.

Currently it has the following features:

• Directory Flattener

var flattener = new DirectoryFlattener(new OsFileSystem());

// Moves all files from directories (including subdirectories) in
// the provided path TO the provided path
flattener.Flatten("E:\\images");

// by default, Flatten copies files
// this behavior can be changed
// directoryToUniqueName folds the directory structure
// to generate unique names instead of GUID on conflict
// C:/root/foo/bar/baz.rar will become C:/root/foo-bar-baz.rar
flattener.Flatten("E:\\images", moveFiles: true, directoryToUniqueName: true);

💡 Will not overwrite other files because if the flattened file name collides with another it is renamed to a new GUID name instead.

• File Sorter

var fileSorter = new FileSorter(new OsFileSystem());

fileSorter.AddRule(new(CommonFilePatterns.ImageFiles, @"C:\Users\micro\Pictures\sorted"));
fileSorter.AddRule(new(CommonFilePatterns.SoundFiles, @"C:\Users\micro\Music"));
fileSorter.AddRule(new(CommonFilePatterns.GimpFiles, @"C:\Users\micro\Documents\Gimp projects"));
fileSorter.AddRule(new(CommonFilePatterns.PresentationFiles, @"C:\Users\micro\Documents\Presentations"));
fileSorter.AddRule(new(CommonFilePatterns.ArchiveFiles, @"C:\Users\micro\Documents\Archives"));
fileSorter.AddRule(new(CommonFilePatterns.WindowsShortcutFiles, string.Empty, SpecialRule.Delete));

// Moves files from the provided directory into other directories
// based on the rule set defined earlier.
// Files not matching any rule won't be moved.
fileSorter.SortDirectory(@"C:\Users\micro\Desktop");

💡 My personal use is to first Flatten my Downloads directory (removing folders) and then sort the files

• Drive Management

var driveProvider = new LogicalDriveProvider(new OsDriveInfo(), new JsonFileDriveIdentifier());

// You can create a human-readable label for the drive
// in order to be able to recognize the drive easier
// since the path itself may change from OS to OS
driveProvider.RegisterNewDrive("E:\\", "Abigail");

var drives = driveProvider.GetRecognizedDrives();

Can I help?

This is primarily a tool that I myself use, but if you have any suggestions, bug reports, or even pull requests, then go ahead. ☺️
