I suppose it goes without saying that I tend to be obsessed with organizing things.
FontOrg came about after a discussion on the alt.binary.fonts newsgroup where the statement was made that “there is no way that fonts can be organized programmatically!” Being typically bored, I took that as a personal challenge and came up with FontOrg.When I was finished, your collection of fonts could be organized by designer, style, foundry … and in most cases where I ‘stashed’ them was the right place.
BookOrg was started when a lady friend asked me if I could do something similar for all her books. I took the same approach and find that, once again, I can put most books into their proper place in my desired hierarchy. BookOrg doesn't have all the ‘bells and whistles’ that went into FontOrg, but for the time being, I’m satisfied with it.
In a nutshell, my approach has been to take a known - font designers, book authors, font foundries, book series - and locate that item within the file. Using that information I’ve been able to comfortably copy or move both book or font files into a new folder separated into the categories that fit my needs.
