FileSieve4.41

You can find most common file operations in the context menu. However, having to handle individual files is a pain, not to mention time-consuming. In this regard, FileSieve wants to help you filter and organize files according to custom criteria, with options to save profiles for fast trigger later on.

Lightweight and easy to install

The application saves you the effort and time required to go through a complex setup process, as it can be deployed almost immediately. You just need to make sure that the target PC is fitted with .NET Framework, because it’s a mandatory requirement for functionality.The main window holds most functions you get to work with, while others, such as the method manager bring up other windows. There aren’t any preset profiles, but creating a new one only requires a name and list of directories to process. These are remembered and can be selected later on from a drop-down menu.

Define methods and modifiers

You’re free to add multiple directories to the list. A destination also needs to be specified. The operation can copy or move files directly, with an additional option to simply simulate the process to see if the result is what you expect.The third step is where you get to configure the rules of the process. The method is selected from a dedicated window, with options ranging from attributes, consolidate, parent folder rename, A-Z folder structure, and more. Depending on the method, modifiers can be applied to narrow down the process through modification of the file path, name, and extension.

A few last words

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that FileSieve is a practical tool which can be used to organize large collection of files based on customizable methods. Multiple profiles can be created, while the process can either move, or copy files so a backup is left on your PC.
