## About
Categorise your files into Pictures, Documents, Music, Videos, Archived, Programming or as Others!
Pictures will be moved to `/home/$user/Pictures` for Unix-based systems or `c:\user\username\Pictures` for Windows, same goes for Documents, Music, Videos etc to their respective folders.
All the classes/methods will be imported under the package `directory_organizer`.
Further File types will be added to existing types to widen support.
<b>Note : </b>
* By default, Directory Organizer considers base `Downloads` Directory of your OS.
* If the File-type doesn't match with either of Pictures/Documents/Videos/Music/Archived/Programming file extensions, then it'll be moved to `Others` Directory.
