DeClutter: File Tagger and Organizer

DeClutter is a desktop application built on PySide6 that helps you manage and organize your files. It provides a set of tools to automate file processing and a simple file manager with tagging capabilities.

Features

1. Automated File Processing: Create rules to automatically process your files.

• Sources: Specify which folders or tagged files to process.
• Conditions: Filter files based on name, size, date, tags, and type.
• Actions: Delete, trash, copy, move, rename, and tag files.

2. File Tagger: A simple file manager with tagging capabilities.

• Tag files and folders: Organize your files with user-defined tags.
• Tag groups: Create groups of tags where only one tag from the group can be applied to a file.
• Filter by tags: Easily find files with specific tags.
• Media preview: Preview audio, video, and image files directly in the tagger.
• Drag and Drop: Drag and drop files between DeClutter and your file explorer.

Use Cases

• Automatically delete old files in your "Downloads" folder.
• Organize your "Downloads" folder by automatically moving files to subfolders based on their type, date, or other criteria.
• Set an "expiration time" for files using tags, and DeClutter will automatically delete them when they expire.
• If you work on a project that saves new versions with incremental numbers (like FL Studio or Reaper), you can automatically move older versions of project files to a subfolder, keeping only the N most recent versions.
• Quickly navigate your files using tags, which can be more intuitive than navigating a folder tree.

Technical Details

• Framework: PySide6
• Database: SQLite
• Platform: Primarily tested on Windows, but also runs on macOS (with some limitations).
