How do I make it organize a specific directory instead of just what directory the script is in?
When I change current_dir to 'C:\Users\example\example', I get "SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 2-3: truncated escape"

Edit: Nevermind, I figured it out. I just had to put r before the directory, so it would appear as current_dir = r'C:\Users\example\example'

In case i want to copy the file to the new directory??

The images file won't work for some reason. I downloaded a .jpg file for some testing, however, the image file keeps going into the other files folder. I did everything the same as you. Why is this?
