Organizing your videos

If you are like me, that is if you save your downloaded videos even after you've watched them, then your video folder is likely to be very ugly. When looking for the latest episode of a show, you may find yourself scrolling through multiple pages of obscure file names like "The.Shawshank.Redemption.1994.SWESUB.AC3.720p.BRRip.avi". Wouldn't it be nice if all file names were simple, like "The Shawshank Redemption.avi"?

At least that's what I thought so I created an application to do the job of renaming files. It's called vorg and you can download it at GitHub. Not only does it rename the files, it also organizes similar files into subdirectories. I'll give you an example below. Try it out!
