File Organizer

File Organizer is a cross-platform GUI utility written in Rust for automatically organizing files in a directory based on their file types. With a modern, user-friendly interface powered by eframe and egui, this tool categorizes files by extension into dedicated subdirectories while providing flexible options for copying or moving files, including hidden files, and handling files without extensions.
