This PR significantly improves the existing file organizer by introducing several key features and refactoring for better usability:
Feats added -
Duplicate Detection: Computes SHA256 hashes of files to identify and move duplicates to a dedicated duplicates folder.
Date-Based Sorting: Files are organized not only by type (images, videos, documents, etc.) but also by last modified date (e.g., images/2025-10-25).
Watch Mode: Introduces a real-time file system watcher to automatically organize newly added files in the target folder.
4: CLI Integration (via clap):Allows users to specify target folder and enable watch mode with command-line arguments:
file_organizer --path ./Downloads --watch
Code Refactoring:
Modularized functions for readability (organize_files, move_to_folder, hash_file, watch_folder).
Improved error handling and logging for better user feedback.
