Smart-Organize is a suite of Automator Actions to help clean up cluttered, untidy folders; the basic concept being that files are Organized by a specifiect in the top level of the selected directories:
- file extension
- creation date
- current date
Important: After installing Smart-Organize, you may need to configure your Folder Actions to ensure that only one Smart-Organize Folder Action is active per folder. The Folder Actions work in different ways; the order in which the Folder Actions are run is indeterminate.
Folder Actions, default to your Downloads folder (~/Downloads).
Thank you for using Smart-Organize. Enjoy! 😄
Invoking any of the following actions on a file in Finder will create a new folder at the same level, and then move the file into this new folder. The folder's name depends on the selected action:
- Finder ⇒ Quick Actions ⇒ Organize by Extension: the file's extension.
- Finder ⇒ Quick Actions ⇒ Organize by Creation Date: the file's creation date using format
yyyy-MM-dd. - Finder ⇒ Quick Actions ⇒ Organize by Current Date: the current date using format
yyyy-MM-dd.
- Organize by Extension: Creates a folder using the file's extension, and moves the selected file into the folder.
- Organize by Creation Date: Creates a folder using the current date, and moves the selected file into the folder.
- Organize by Current Date: Creates a folder using the file's creation date, and moves the selected file into the folder.
