Simple File Management Scripts

Please read this README carefully to avoid any data loss.
The scripts may vary in quality – I made them for my own use and cannot guarantee their functionality for everyone.

Platform notes

• fast_folder_remover.py and bulk image resizer (50%).bat are designed for Windows (they use robocopy, rd, and PowerShell).
• All other Python scripts should work on any OS where Python 3 is available.

By default, most scripts use the current working directory as the source.
Exceptions: fast_folder_remover.py asks for a full folder path, and the Adlist converters open a file selection dialog.

Root Directory Scripts

• universal_prefix-suffix_remover.py – Interactively removes a user‑specified prefix or suffix from filenames. Supports dry‑run, case‑sensitive toggle, and cleans up stray spaces.

• bulk image resizer (50%).bat – Resizes all .jpg, .jpeg, .png images in the current folder to 50% of their original size. Saves resized copies with a _resized suffix (originals are kept).

• +_to_space_in_filenames.py – Replaces one or more consecutive + characters in filenames with a single space. Ignores .py scripts.

• fix_spaces_in_filenames.py – Cleans filenames by removing leading/trailing spaces, spaces before the file extension, and replacing multiple spaces with a single space.

• fast_folder_remover.py – Windows only. Deletes a folder and all its contents quickly, especially when it contains many small files. Uses robocopy /MIR with an empty temporary folder, then falls back to shutil.rmtree and rd /s /q. Includes safety blacklists for critical system paths.

• txt_file_splitter.py – Splits a text file into 2‑20 parts. Smart splitting tries to cut at paragraph or line breaks for even distribution. Shows detailed statistics (size per part, variance).

Adlist Converters

All converter scripts open a file dialog, transform the selected file, and save the result in the same folder with a descriptive suffix.

• Adguardlist_to_windowsHOSTSlist.py – Converts an AdGuard blocklist (||domain.com^) into Windows HOSTS format (127.0.0.1 domain.com).

• domainlist_to_Adguardblocklist.py – Converts a simple list of domains (one per line) into AdGuard rules (||domain.com^).

• domainlist_to_windowsHOSTSlist.py – Converts a domain list into Windows HOSTS file entries.

• windowsHOSTSlist_to_domainlist.py – Extracts domain names from a Windows HOSTS file and saves them as a plain domain list.
