This project contains scripts that automate some of the most boring yet time consuming and essential tasks.
Folder Manager:
CLI tool that allows user to arrange and compress directories
Requirements:
Python 3.x
Usage:
- Arrange by extension:
-e or --ext
python "path"\folder_manager.py -e "absolute path of directory to be arranged"
- Arrange by name:
-n or --name
python "path"\folder_manager.py -n "absolute path of directory to be arranged"
- Deep arrange:
-d or --deep
"path"\folder_manager.py -d "mode" "absolute path of directory to be arranged"
mode 1. arrange by name-> arrange by ext
mode 2. arrange by ext-> arrange by name
- Compress
-c or --compress
"path"\folder_manager.py -c "type of archive" "absolute path of directory to be arranged"
Supported archives: 1. "xztar" Slowest but maximum compression is achieved. Supported by default in linux only 2. "gztar" 3. "zip" Fastest and supported in windows, linux and mac. Lowest level of compression is achieved
example:python folder_manager.py -c zip E:\Desktop\python_programming\beginner_projects\dummyFolder
This would create an archived file of the specified directory in its parent folder. You may now choose to delete the original directory
Note :
- all the operations work for valid directory paths, not Files
- Currently only absolute path of directory is supported
