Rule Management

Rules are the heart of FileFlush Pro. They define how files are identified and where they should be organized.

Rule Type Usage Example
Extension Match files by file extension .pdf, .docx, .jpg
Wildcard Pattern matching with * and ? report_*.pdf, image_??.jpg
Regex Advanced pattern matching ^invoice_\d{4}\.pdf$
Contains Files containing specific text final, draft, backup 
// Example Rule: Organize PDF files
Name: "Organize PDF Documents"
Type: extension
Pattern: ".pdf"
Destination: "C:\Users\Username\Documents\PDFs"
Priority: 1
Enabled: true
Tip: Use the "Test Rule" feature to verify your rule matches the correct files before applying it to your entire folder.

Preview & Execution

The Preview tab shows exactly what will happen when you run your rules, ensuring complete control over file operations.

Smart Filtering

Filter files by name, type, or match status to focus on specific file groups.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions

Files Not Moving

Solution: Check rule configuration, test individual rules, verify file permissions, and ensure files aren't in use by other applications.

Performance Issues

Solution: For large folders, consider disabling background monitoring. Restart the application periodically during extended use.

Rule Conflicts

Solution: Check rule priorities - higher priority rules execute first. Review pattern matches for overlaps.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I undo file moves?

FileFlush Pro doesn't have an automatic undo feature. Always use the preview function before executing moves. For accidental moves, check the destination folders manually.

How do I organize files by date?

Use destination paths with date variables in your rules (check advanced documentation for available date formatting options).

Can I use FileFlush Pro on network drives?

Yes, but performance may vary based on network speed. Ensure you have appropriate permissions on network locations.

How do I exclude certain files?

Create a rule with high priority that matches the files you want to exclude and set its destination to the original folder.
