aben20807 / excp

A toy copy tool inspired by KOCARD

excp

Copy files with comparison checks.

I just add GUI for shutil.copy2 and filecmp.cmp.

Download the pre-build binary for win10 from the release.

Demo

Build from source

• Python 3.9.13

• Windows powershell commands:

> python -m virtualenv venv
> .\venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
> pip install alive-progress
> pip install pyinstaller
> pyinstaller -F -c --clean --collect-all grapheme --icon=excp.ico .\excp\excp.py

Performance

Benchmark: 40 .jpg + 40 .nef (1.52 GB, 1,636,901,294 Bytes) from NAS to NAS locally

• Copy by ctrl-c ctrl-v: 19s (just copy without file comparison)
• Copy by excp: 49s (shutil.copy2 is slow)
• Copy by excp with asyncio and concurrent.futures: 43s (deprecated because of non-significant improvement)
