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

    This requires no “AI”, just some simple rule-based automation, at most some algorithmic sorting.

    • Android (or some custom branded Android versions?) automatically save downloaded files in folders by Pictures, Documents, etc unless you tell them.not to.
    • Office365 offers the PowerAutomate function, but knowing Microsoft they probably overcomplicated things a bunch. [Edit: obviously this isn’t FLOSS, just a hint at what to look for alternatives to…]

    This approach never appealed to me as I want to know where things are rather than where some subroutine thinks it belongs, but I’m certain you will find plenty of software that offers an auto sorting feature.

      sorting through thousands of audio files and putting them into relevent folders, years of legal documents, etc.

        If you want to sort audio files by metadata, try easytag.

        I never did that way and its not a script, but you can check if lidarr can rename and sort your music. It might require some manual work like adding artists, I dont know is it good enough for you honestly. For documents paperless-ngx can make them searchable and organized.

        I know its not exactly what you are looking for, but both projects are amazing and offer something close

          no i mean, voice recordings. basically an ai that can look at any file type across a collection of lan computers and organise them, delete duplicates, etc.
