Organized collections store metadata under a hidden .dorgy/ folder at the collection root:

  • .dorgy/state.json — current collection metadata (paths, hashes, document IDs, search status).
  • .dorgy/history.jsonl — append-only operation history for automation and audits.
  • .dorgy/chroma/ — Chromadb index storage for semantic search.
  • .dorgy/search.json — manifest describing the search index (counts, timestamps, enablement flags).
  • .dorgy/classifications.json — cached classification results.
  • .dorgy/vision.json — cached image captions when vision is enabled.
  • .dorgy/quarantine/ — destination for corrupted files when configured.
  • .dorgy/needs-review/ — staging area for low-confidence classifications.
  • .dorgy/watch.log — rolling log written by dorgy watch batches.
  • .dorgy/dorgy.log — shared CLI log.
  • .dorgy/orig.json — snapshot of the original file structure used by dorgy undo.
