• Moves files into neat folders and subfolders based only on filetype
• Detailed database of filetypes and their categories (format_classification.py)

• ID3 tagging of music files using AcoustID

Planned features

• Allowing users to add custom filetypes and categories to the database
• 'Undo' button to move files back into their original places
• Allowing pyorganise to be imported as a function in other Python programs
• (Not in foreseeable future) Using AcoustID fingerprints to identify and delete duplicate audio files, and keeping the higher quality option
• (Not in foreseeable future) Identifying and deleting duplicate image files, and keeping the higher quality option
• (Not in foreseeable future) Allowing the filetype database to be updated online regularly
