Windows Utilities

Made with (●'◡'●) by @diptanshumahish. Last updated on 26th November, 2023 and readme on 13th February, 2024 🚀

Why these utilities?

Manually organizing files, folders, separating them, doing basic image compressions, and adjusting sleep duration settings can be tedious and time-consuming. To streamline these tasks, I created Python-based scripts that can be run globally, making them accessible from anywhere through the terminal.

Why not make an application out of this?

While applications or widgets are an option, the question is: will the effort be worth it? The simplicity of running scripts from the terminal provides a quick and efficient solution without the need for a dedicated application.

Prerequisites

1. Python should be installed on your device.
2. Some packages may install additional dependency packages (they will be installed automatically). 📦

How to use these. 🛠️

1. Save this repository to some easily accessible place and use git clone. For example, save it to a path like D:/Windows_Utilities/. Use the following command to do clone :

git clone https://github.com/diptanshumahish/windows_utilities.git

2. Open the 'utilities' folder and copy the path from the Windows path bar. It should look something like D:/Windows_Utilities/utilities/.

3. Add this path to your environment variables on your PC. Follow these steps:

   • 🪟 Windows Key
   • 🔍 Search for "Edit the environment system variables"
   • 📂 Open it > Click on "Environment Variables"
   • 👤 In the "User variables for {your username}" section
   • 🚀 Click on "Path"
   • ✏️ Click on "Edit"
   • ➕ Click on "New"
   • 📌 Add the path you copied
   • ✅ Click on "Ok".
   • ✅ Done

4. Now, you can use these utilities anywhere in your system.

5. For example, in your C drive, there might be a folder called "Useless Files" that has a lot of files of various types. I have a utility program called organize_files. Right-click anywhere on your window, click on "Open in Terminal," and type organize_files. It will organize all files of various types in various folders.

6.[Not working] If you want to skip step 3. and want to temporarily try it, then simply right click on the file install.bat and run as administrator.

Feel free to explore each utility for detailed instructions. Happy organizing! 🌈✨

PS: Sorry the auto install and auto update scripts might not work that well as of now. Manually install the script for now.

Updating the Files

I keep pushing new tools and updating previous ones, keeping in mind I made an option to directly update the files.

run :

git pull

OR

.\update.bat

(recommended)

Currently completed

• ✅ Folder flattening : ( Gets all files from folder inside folder inside folder*10000.. into a single folder.).
• ✅ Github Account switcher : Add your github accounts and easily switch them when needed with ease, no more wrong account, wrong commits.
• ✅ Lossless Image Compression : The best of all, easily compress images, maybe use a bit of your CPU and GPU but well, who likes to go to web for these smol tasks.
• ✅ Organize files : Organize your clustered 1000 files folder into properly made folders, no need to search for that one mp3 file in a sea of mp4, hehe.
• ✅ Screen sleep : Easily switch when your device sleeps.
