FolderMaker for Windows is a lightweight PowerShell GUI for building repeatable folder structures without manually creating every parent folder, subfolder, and numbered variant by hand.

What it does

FolderMaker lets you choose a destination, name a parent folder, preview a nested folder structure, and generate the folders on disk through a simple Windows interface. It is useful for course folders, production folders, assignment packages, and any workflow where the same directory structure needs to be recreated reliably.

Reusable templates

Save folder structures as FolderMaker .json templates and load them again when a project starts.

Resizable preview

A draggable centre divider gives more room to either the setup controls or the folder preview.

Verified generation

After folder creation, the app verifies the created paths and shows a completion message.

Version 1.1.0 highlights

Template import and export for reusable FolderMaker .json files.
Cleaner two-panel layout with a draggable divider between setup and preview areas.
Improved folder numbering using underscore-based names such as 1_Assignments and Course Documents_001.
Optional nested/subfolder numbering controls for simpler or more detailed folder structures.
Default Course Documents Folder preset remains available for course-folder organization.
