What it does
Smart Drop sits as a small overlay (and in the tray). You set rules, then drag files or folders onto the zone. Matching files are moved to a destination folder, sent to the Recycle Bin, or left in place. Unmatched files can go to an Unsorted folder or stay where they are.
Routing runs off the UI thread so a large batch does not freeze the window. Name collisions can auto-rename, overwrite, or skip. A global hotkey (default Ctrl+Alt+D) toggles the overlay. You can start with Windows and keep it minimized to the tray.
