DownloadSort

DownloadSort is a lightweight and configurable file organization tool written in Rust.
It automatically sorts files from your Downloads folder into categorized subfolders based on file extensions. The tool supports both a command-line interface (CLI) for headless operation and a modern dark-themed graphical user interface (GUI) built with egui.

Features

• Automatic sorting – Moves files from the Downloads directory into category folders.
• Rule-based categorization – Define categories by file extensions in config.toml or via the GUI.
• Fallback folder – Unmatched files go into a configurable Others folder.
• Safe file moving – Handles cross-device moves with copy+verify+delete fallback.
• Locked file detection – Optionally skip files that are currently in use.
• Background mode – Run sorting periodically using cron‑like scheduling (supports standard cron expressions and shortcuts like @hourly).
• Run on start – Execute sorting immediately when background mode starts.
• Graphical user interface – Full-featured GUI for configuration, manual sorting, background control, and real‑time logs/stats.
• CLI options – --once for a single sorting run, --daemon for headless background mode.
• Automatic Downloads folder detection – Works on Windows (supports USERPROFILE, OneDrive, HOMEDRIVE/HOMEPATH, PUBLIC).
• Windows toast notifications – Notify when sorting completes.
