do you know that minecraft mod that autosorts your inventory? is there are project that can autosort a messy file system and put all of your files of a similar nature into a well organised, well named order. obviously this would require ai that could do image, language, and audio recognition but is there anything in the works? i can imagine this would speed up distrohopping by 10x. ai powered file management
Lately I’ve been using chatGPT to create a bunch of small custom python programs to do stuff like this (if I can’t easily find an existing program to do what I want).
For example I would tell it something like:
Create a python program that does the following: -asks the user for a directory to process -sorts the files in that folder according to file type, placing them into appropriately named sub-folders, eg all image files into a folder named "images", all music files into "music" and so on. -creates any new sub folders before moving the files -moves the files verbosely -gives the user a notification upon finishingYou can customize it to do exactly what you want, and it takes only seconds for it to give you the code.
I can’t even begin to tell you how much time it’s saved me over the last few weeks, automating simple stuff that would normally take ages.
