About FileOrganizer

FileOrganizer is a little project to learn object-oriented programming in Java focus on files management.

Its usage mainly is duplicates deletion. There are two duplicates deletion modes: one folder only & one folder and its subdirectories.

Checksum is used for duplicates comparation to any duplication files, even with different extension. Checksum availables: MD5, SHA-1, and SHA-256.

Features

FileOrganizer gives some features:

1. deleteDuplicates() : Duplicate deletion in one exact directory
2. deleteDuplicatesOverFolders() : Duplicate deletion in one directory and its subdirectories
3. Total deletion counts
4. Checksum comparator for duplication (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256)
5. IOException : Unaccesible directory error handling
6. NoSuchAlgorithmException : Unknown algorithm error handling

Usage

You can run FileOrganizer for duplicates deletion by:

1. Change parameter directoryPath to your own directory for duplicates deletion
2. Choose your duplicates deletion mode: deleteDuplicates() or [default] deleteDuplicatesOverFolders()
3. Make sure to comment or delete method call for unused mode
4. Optional: change checksum algorithm for duplicate comparator

You may change those parameters to observe how FileOrganizer works.

Furthermore, you can create your own modification to answer your curiousity.
