Before building, make sure you have the following installed:
- Qt6 (with Widgets module)
- C++17 compatible compiler (GCC, Clang, MSVC)
- CMake (version 3.16 or higher)
git clone https://github.com/NullCoreX/Fo.git
cd Fo/cmake -B build
cmake --build build./build/bin/FileOrganizer- Select Source Folder – Choose the messy folder you want to organize.
- Select Destination Folder – Where categorized folders will be created.
- Choose Categories – Pick Audio, Images, Videos, Documents, or All.
- Click "Category" – The app scans, moves, and renames files in the background.
