File Organizer 📂✨

Overview 🌟

This script organizes files based on their categories within a specified target directory. It creates a new directory [target_folder_name]_organized in a more organized way.
THIS DOES NOT ALTERN the files to be sorted

Directory Details

• First, based on filenames, send files into given manually defined bins (preset: ['core', 'cover', 'logo'),

target_directory/
└── target_directory_organized/
   ├── core/
   ├── cover/
   ├── logo/
   └── other/

-within /other, all files put into bins that share common first word. e.g ElecEngineer.stl, ElecBox.stl are put into the same dir Elec Final dir tree
