A practical workflow
- Mouzi registers a file-system watcher on configured folders and waits a grace period before moving files according to the first matching rule.
- Users can switch between silent, manual, and paused modes from the system tray menu.
- History records each successful move locally and allows undoing moves while the file still exists at the destination.
