Interactive Media Migrator

An interactive Python script designed to help reclaim disk space by safely moving large collections of images and videos from a primary folder (like Downloads or a project folder) to a secondary drive.

This is a significantly safer and more user-friendly evolution of the original drive-scanning image_migrator.py script.

✨ Key Features

• Interactive & Safe: No more editing the script! It interactively prompts you for the source folder and destination drive, eliminating the risk of hardcoding incorrect paths and accidentally moving system files.
• Targeted Cleanup: Instead of scanning an entire drive, you point it to a specific folder you want to clean up (e.g., C:\Users\YourName\Desktop\AI_Generations).
• Supports Images & Videos: Easily configurable to move a wide range of common image and video file formats.
• Preserves Directory Structure: Your folder organization is perfectly mirrored on the destination drive. No more ending up with thousands of files dumped into one big folder.
• Organized Destination: All moved content is placed inside a single, configurable container folder (e.g., D:\_Moved_media) on the destination drive to keep its root directory clean.
• Built-in Safety Checks: The script verifies that the source and destination paths exist before attempting to move any files.

🚀 How to Use

1. Save the script as a Python file (e.g., migrate_media.py).
2. Open a terminal or PowerShell in the directory where you saved the script.
3. Run the script by typing:

   python migrate_media.py
   

4. Follow the on-screen prompts:
   • First, it will ask for the full path to the folder you want to clean.
     • Example: C:\Users\zanno\Documents\My_Projects
   • Next, it will ask for the destination drive.
     • Example: D:\
5. The script will show you a final confirmation of the source and the exact destination folder it will create. Review it carefully.
6. Type yes and press Enter to begin the migration.

Starting the script

When the script is done

🔧 Configuration

While the script is interactive, you can easily customize its core behavior by editing the variables at the top of the file:

• CONTAINER_FOLDER_NAME: Change the name of the main folder where all files will be moved. (Default: _Moved_media)
• IMAGE_EXTENSIONS: Add or remove image file extensions from this list.
• VIDEO_EXTENSIONS: Add or remove video file extensions from this list.

Delete Empty Folders

An interactive python script that deletes empty folder in a given directory.

This script will:

1. Ask for a folder to clean.
2. Walk through every single subfolder within it.
3. Check if a folder is empty.
4. If and only if it is empty, it will delete it.
5. It works from the inside out, so it can delete nested empty folders (e.g., A/B/C where all three are empty).

It's very safe and, as is our tradition, will ask you for confirmation before it touches anything.

🚀 How to Use

1. Save the script as a Python file (e.g., delete_empty_folders.py).
2. Open a terminal or PowerShell in the directory where you saved the script.
3. Run the script by typing:

   delete_empty_folders.py

Sort

A quick sorting batch file.

This will sort all images in a image folder and all video files in a video folder.

🚀 How to Use

Put the sort.bat file in the folder you want to sort and double click on it.

⚠️ WARNING: This batch file will not ask for confirmation

⚠️ A Word of Caution

While this script is designed to be much safer than its predecessor, it is a powerful tool that MOVES files (not copies them). A "move" operation is a "copy" followed by a "delete".

• Backup First: Always have a backup of your important data before running any script that modifies files on your system.
• Verify Paths: Double-check the paths you enter when prompted to ensure you are targeting the correct folder.

Use this script at your own risk. We are not responsible for any data loss.
