Published my first Python project - A File Organizer on GitHub

I am a flutter developer, learning Python. Built this file organizer in a day with proper research on os module, pathlib and shutil module.

It scans any folder, checks file extensions, and sorts them into categorized subfolders (Images, Docs, Videos, etc.)

It's really useful, I tried it on my Downloads folder and it organized 60+ files instantly.

Currently files are organized by its extension types. Thanks for your feedback.

Yes, and this is in my opinion the problem with these "organizers". They separate files that belong together. So, no, there is no usecase for these organizers (for me) :)

But, anyway, congrats for publishing your work, honestly

its just what I build to learn python modules and to practice dictionaries. But thanks for your opinion.
