Files Organizer

It's a great tool to organize your photos, videos, documents, etc based on their date. When you run the tool, all the files in the current directory will be moved to the corresponding folders organized by month and year.
⚠️ Linux limitation: If the file doesn't have a date on it's name, it's not possible to get the file creation date, so the last modified date will be used instead. ⚠️
