Downsorter : Deterministic File Management Framework

#Downsorter

Downsorter is a lightweight, low-overhead system utility designed to address un-indexed file growth and directory entropy.

• By evaluating metadata payloads and extension patterns at the local OS layer, Downsorter automatically categorizes incoming files into isolated storage partitions using their extensions and types , ensuring optimal file access latency and zero-clutter file-system architecture.
  
  
• Unlike Other CLI-based sorting tools , Downsorter is customizable using CLI commands , ensuring maximum user control

#FEATURES/FUNCTIONS
