Sort a folder into a tree
Six composable trees, and a 00-a-classer/ folder for whatever the tool could not identify. What is not identified is never filed at random.
Or drop the folder to sort, as it is today here. Nothing is sent: everything stays in this tab.
When to use it
A client folder holds everything, flat: income, identity, banking, deeds.
Or two folders must be merged and the convention is not the same on both sides.
What this tool does
- Six trees: by document family, by person, by year, by issuer, by type, and the composition of several levels.
- A level that cannot answer disappears: a document with no identified person does not create an “unknown” folder.
00-a-classer/at the top of the tree: what was not identified is visible first, not diluted at the bottom.- The tree is shown before writing, folder by folder, with how many documents each holds.
What it does not do: the tool deletes nothing, ever, and it merges no files. A document it cannot file stays a document to file, not a lost one.
What is read in the document
- The type of the document, its person, its issuer and its date: that is what decides the folder.
No file is uploaded: the folder is read by your browser, in this tab, and the page is not allowed to open a connection to any other site.
Frequently asked questions
- What if I do not like the proposed tree?
- You choose another, or you compose one. The table recalculates, and nothing has been written yet.
- Are the original subfolders preserved?
- No: the sorting starts from the documents, not from the original tree. The “before” column keeps the path each document came from.
The other tools
- Find duplicates : Byte-for-byte identicals, scans proposed as duplicates, and the series that are not.
- Identify the documents in a folder : A whole folder read at once: the type of each document, its date, its issuer, the person.
- Identify one document : One document, one answer, and the clues that produced it.
- Rename a folder of files : A naming pattern applied to a whole folder, with the before and after preview and the undo.
- Check against a list of expected documents : The heart of the tool: present, missing, doubtful, extra.
