This code doesn’t use best practices as I should be creating the directory path differently, but hey, it worked and I was able to create the directories, move the files, and write this blog post in significantly less time than it would have taken to do it manually. Python is widely used in data analytics and comes with some inbuilt functions to work with files. # get all but the last 8 characters to remove

This was very quickly done in Python 3.6 on Windows 10 using less than 20 lines of code: import os If you want to create folders on your iMac or MacBook to organize your files, you’ve got several options. There are also hidden folders on macOS that contain important system files. This type of repetitive work is better handled by the computer because it will not only create the folders and move the files more quickly, it is much less likely to make mistakes (assuming I provide the proper instructions). For example, when you download new fonts for your Mac from the web, the files are automatically saved to the Downloads folder.

I have the images and I know what my digital folder names need to be, but if I did all of this work by hand it would not only take a significant amount of time, I would probably make a few mistakes. The folder therefore only needs sections 1-3 of the filename, i.e. We organize the images in digital folders to match the physical folders, so every image in the SMDR collection from 1959 in physical folder 185 needs to be in a digital folder 185. Some of the TIFF images that needed to be sorted into folders
