Updates 🚀

[2024/09] v0.0.2:

• Featured by Nexa Gallery and Nexa SDK Cookbook!
• Dry Run Mode: check sorting results before committing changes
• Silent Mode: save all logs to a txt file for quieter operation
• Added file support: .md, .excel, .ppt, and .csv
• Three sorting options: by content, by date, and by type
• The default text model is now Llama3.2 3B
• Improved CLI interaction experience
• Added real-time progress bar for file analysis

Please update the project by deleting the original project folder and reinstalling the requirements. Refer to the installation guide from Step 4.

Roadmap 📅

• Copilot Mode: chat with AI to tell AI how you want to sort the file (ie. read and rename all the PDFs)
• Change models with CLI
• ebook format support
• audio file support
• video file support
• Implement best practices like Johnny Decimal
• Check file duplication
• Dockerfile for easier installation
• People from Nexa is helping me to make executables for macOS, Linux and Windows

What It Does 🔍

This intelligent file organizer harnesses the power of advanced AI models, including language models (LMs) and vision-language models (VLMs), to automate the process of organizing files by:

• Scanning a specified input directory for files.

• Content Understanding:

  • Textual Analysis: Uses the Llama3.2 3B to analyze and summarize text-based content, generating relevant descriptions and filenames.
  • Visual Content Analysis: Uses the LLaVA-v1.6 , based on Vicuna-7B, to interpret visual files such as images, providing context-aware categorization and descriptions.

• Understanding the content of your files (text, images, and more) to generate relevant descriptions, folder names, and filenames.

• Organizing the files into a new directory structure based on the generated metadata.

The best part? All AI processing happens 100% on your local device using the Nexa SDK. No internet connection required, no data leaves your computer, and no AI API is needed - keeping your files completely private and secure.

Installation 🛠

For SDK installation and model-related issues, please post on here.

1. Install Python

Before installing the Local File Organizer, make sure you have Python installed on your system. We recommend using Python 3.12 or later.

You can download Python from the official website.

Follow the installation instructions for your operating system.

2. Clone the Repository

Clone this repository to your local machine using Git:

git clone https://github.com/QiuYannnn/Local-File-Organizer.git

Or download the repository as a ZIP file and extract it to your desired location.

3. Set Up the Python Environment

Create a new Conda environment named local_file_organizer with Python 3.12:

conda create --name local_file_organizer python=3.12

Activate the environment:

conda activate local_file_organizer

4. Install Nexa SDK ️

CPU Installation

To install the CPU version of Nexa SDK, run:

pip install nexaai --prefer-binary --index-url https://nexaai.github.io/nexa-sdk/whl/cpu --extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple --no-cache-dir

GPU Installation (Metal - macOS)

For the GPU version supporting Metal (macOS), run:

CMAKE_ARGS="-DGGML_METAL=ON -DSD_METAL=ON" pip install nexaai --prefer-binary --index-url https://nexaai.github.io/nexa-sdk/whl/metal --extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple --no-cache-dir

For detailed installation instructions of Nexa SDK for CUDA and AMD GPU support, please refer to the Installation section in the main README.

5. Install Dependencies

1. Ensure you are in the project directory:

   cd path/to/Local-File-Organizer
   

   Replace path/to/Local-File-Organizer with the actual path where you cloned or extracted the project.

2. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

Note: If you encounter issues with any packages, install them individually:

pip install nexa Pillow pytesseract PyMuPDF python-docx

With the environment activated and dependencies installed, run the script using:

6. Running the Script🎉

python main.py

Notes

• SDK Models:

  • The script uses NexaVLMInference and NexaTextInference models usage.
  • Ensure you have access to these models and they are correctly set up.
  • You may need to download model files or configure paths.

• Dependencies:

  • pytesseract: Requires Tesseract OCR installed on your system.
    • macOS: brew install tesseract
    • Ubuntu/Linux: sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr
    • Windows: Download from Tesseract OCR Windows Installer
  • PyMuPDF (fitz): Used for reading PDFs.

• Processing Time:

  • Processing may take time depending on the number and size of files.
  • The script uses multiprocessing to improve performance.

• Customizing Prompts:

  • You can adjust prompts in data_processing.py to change how metadata is generated.
