Partial The file-sorting and search logic is easy to build, but the translucent icon boxes that snap to the desktop depend on undocumented Windows Explorer shell internals that AI-assisted coding handles unreliably.
What it would actually take: The app needs a native Windows layer in C# or C++ with WinRT or Win32 shell hooks to attach to the desktop window and track icon positions, plus a file watcher for auto-sorting. Quick-look previews need per-format handlers. Stability across Windows updates and DPI or multi-monitor setups requires someone experienced with Windows shell programming.
