I search and didn't find anything. I don't believe this is a duplicate, but it should be, because this is a good idea and should have been suggested before.

I think that it's about time to add more organization to the song folder. We shouldn't have to deal with an unorganized mess of unranked and ranked maps in our song folder. It makes it very difficult to sort our maps, and the maintenance aspect is even more tedious of a task. osu! needs to split it's maps up into smaller chunks so that it wont be impossible to sift through 16 GBs worth of songs.

The idea is simply: Have a folder for ranked and or approved, and one for unranked, and one for maps that you own.

Think of how much more efficient it will be to sort maps in game when everything is already organized in folders. If we took this idea further, a lot of previously unreachable sort options would become more reasonable. People want sort by date. Why aren't the beatmaps organized by date ranked? (This would be in the ranked folder) or by date submitted (this would be in the unranked folder). Unsubmitted would be a separate folder as well. If this system was implemented each folder could have a year subfolder, which would allow organization by date possible.

Please show your support if you think this would be useful.

Not bad... :|

I'd definitely love to see more organization in my song folder, mine is already sorted by Beatmap Set ID but that's not helping at all.
I'd give stars if I had any... :(

My song folder is still a hopeless mess. I still would like an easier way to organize the folders.

osu! would have to contantly move beatmaps between these folders when they get ranked and unranked. I hope this could be possible though.

There aren't tons of maps that get ranked/unranked per day. This would be doable even on ancient computers in like a second if you stay a week without playing.
That is, if osu! checks a log with recent ranks/unranks instead of rechecking ranked status for all of your maps.

The only thing is that I'm not sure of is how the Songs folder can tell what is ranked, unranked, and mine.

It will have to be done in-game I think, where you can normally sort through unranked/ranked beatmaps. Maybe have a "move beatmaps to unranked/ranked folders" button in the maintenance tab in options.

I guess it would be fairly performance intensive to send maps from the unranked to ranked category. I'm not sure about automatically detecting and sending maps from unranked to ranked automatically or as soon as your update to the ranked version for example. I think it could happen during a full process though.

I was thinking that the maps themselves could get moved to the correct folder when downloaded or created. Maybe that's unrealistic. It would be nice if we could have the chance to move the folders. I don't know what could be done efficiently. I have ideas, but I don't know if they would work.

The game downloading a list of recent ranked and unranked IDs whenever you go into Play mode (and saving the time when this is done, so some server load is saved) is the easiest way, both bandwidth and processing-wise.

I support the idea of having osu! automatically organize maps. But I think it would be better if we could define the parameters for sorting the song folders. Since if it was implemented this way, (in my case), I'd have around 10 maps in unranked folder, 12 maps in my own map folder, and 2500++++ maps on the ranked folder.

So, if I open Songs\, it will only have 3 folders, neat. But once I open Songs\Ranked\, it will be a mess, just like how it was before.
