This application will create all folders in the Downloads folder on Windows. The folders are created based on the filetypes.json file. All keys for parent arrays in the JSON file are used for the folder creation. If the folder already exists, the creation is skipped.

All values in the array are used for matching filetypes. If a filetype match is found it will be moved into the folder based on the key used for creation.

For example, if a test.zip file exists in the downloads folder a match will be found in the Archives array. The test.zip file will then be moved into the Archives folder. The filetypes.json file can be customized to your liking to create folders, and move files based on filetypes.

If you would like to add additional filetypes to the JSON file please create a pull request with the requested changes.

You do not need to recompile the application if the JSON file changes.

In the future I plan to add a generic Folder where any folders that do not match filetypes.json then the folder will be moved into the generic Folder. This will allow a cleaner downloads folder. This is I myself require due to unziping archives & more. This will be an optional feature that will require user input.
