1. Import Required Libraries

import os
import shutil
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import filedialog, messagebox

• os: Interact with the file system (check folders, list files).

• shutil: Move files between directories.

• tkinter: Build GUI elements.

• filedialog: Browse and select folders.

• messagebox: Show pop-up alerts or error messages.

2. Define File Type Categories

file_types = {
    "Images": [".jpg", ".jpeg", ".png", ".gif", ".bmp"],
    "Documents": [".pdf", ".docx", ".doc", ".txt", ".xlsx", ".pptx"],
    "Videos": [".mp4", ".mov", ".avi", ".mkv"],
    "Audio": [".mp3", ".wav", ".aac"],
    "Archives": [".zip", ".rar", ".7z", ".tar", ".gz"],
    "Scripts": [".py", ".js", ".html", ".css", ".java", ".cpp"],
    "Others": []
}

• This dictionary tells the script how to categorize files based on their extensions.

• If a file extension doesn’t match any listed category, it goes into the “Others” folder.

3. Define organize_files() Function

def organize_files():
    folder_path = path_var.get()

• Gets the user-selected folder path from the entry box.

    if not os.path.exists(folder_path):
        messagebox.showerror("Error", "Please select a valid folder.")
        return

• Checks if the folder exists. If not, shows an error and stops the function.

    files_moved = 0
    for filename in os.listdir(folder_path):
        file_path = os.path.join(folder_path, filename)

• Loops through each file in the folder and builds the full path.

        if os.path.isfile(file_path):
            _, ext = os.path.splitext(filename)
            ext = ext.lower()

• Filters only files (not folders) and gets the file extension in lowercase.

            found = False
            for category, extensions in file_types.items():
                if ext in extensions:
                    target_folder = os.path.join(folder_path, category)
                    found = True
                    break

• Searches for the category matching the file’s extension and sets the target folder accordingly.

            if not found:
                target_folder = os.path.join(folder_path, "Others")

• If the extension is unknown, move it to “Others”.

            os.makedirs(target_folder, exist_ok=True)
            shutil.move(file_path, os.path.join(target_folder, filename))
            files_moved += 1

• Creates the target folder if it doesn’t exist, then moves the file there and increments the file count.

    result_label.config(text=f"Organized {files_moved} files successfully!")

• Displays a message in the GUI showing how many files were moved.

4. Define browse_folder() Function

def browse_folder():
    folder = filedialog.askdirectory()
    if folder:
        path_var.set(folder)

• Opens a folder selection dialog.

• If a folder is selected, its path is stored in a StringVar for display in the entry box.

5. Set Up the GUI

root = tk.Tk()
root.title("File Organizer")
root.geometry("500x250")
root.config(bg="white")

• Creates the main window, sets the title and size, and changes background to white.

path_var = tk.StringVar()

• A variable to dynamically update the entry box with the selected path.

6. Add GUI Components

title = tk.Label(root, text="File Organizer Tool", font=("Arial", 16), bg="white")
title.pack(pady=10)

• Displays the heading/title.

path_entry = tk.Entry(root, textvariable=path_var, width=50)
path_entry.pack(pady=5)

• Entry box to show the selected folder path.

browse_btn = tk.Button(root, text="Browse Folder", command=browse_folder, bg="#2196F3", fg="white", padx=10, pady=5)
browse_btn.pack()

• Button to browse and select the folder.

organize_btn = tk.Button(root, text="Start Organizing", command=organize_files, bg="#4CAF50", fg="white", padx=10, pady=5)
organize_btn.pack(pady=10)

• Button to start organizing files in the selected folder.

result_label = tk.Label(root, text="", font=("Arial", 12), fg="green", bg="white")
result_label.pack(pady=10)

• Displays the final result: how many files were organized.

 7. Run the GUI

root.mainloop()

• Starts the Tkinter event loop to keep the window open and respond to button clicks.
