loft's Introduction

loft

Logical Organisation of Files by Type

A Ruby script to organise files.

The script uses the yomu gem to get the title of the document if the file name doesn't include a title (e.g. the file name only has numbers). The file will be renamed and sorted into a subdirectory according to it's file type (e.g. pdf). It also renames the file with the creation date.

If no source directory is given it uses the current directory. If no destination directory is given it uses ~/Documents as a base.

Usage

loft.rb -[chiotvVd:s:]

-h: Print help
-t: Run in test mode (don't move/rename any files)
-c: Sort files
-s: Source directory
-d: Destination directory
-V: Print version
-v: Verbose mode

Examples

$ loft.rb -c
