This script is used to classify unsorted collections of media files
It takes the current directory -or alternatively one or more paths as parameter- and classifies the files and directories that match a similarity factor above a specified threshold. It works based solely on the names of files and directories in a non-recursive manner. It will try to associate the files it finds to the directories already present. If the option to create new directories is specified, it will attempt to make this association and, on failure, it will create a suitable directory for the cluster of files being analyzed.
Before comparing the names, it removes every component that matches the list of regular expressions. Then, splits by the given list of separators, removes unwanted substrings, and analyzes similarities among the remaining pieces.
Afterwards it moves files and merges directories based on that analysis.
Warning
It will overwrite files if they already exist in the target directory. Use a custom Mover class if that is not the desired behavior.
- Syntax:
- dirsort [options] paths
- Options:
-h, --help Show this help message and exit -s, --simulate No-act. Perform simulation -d, --directories Merge directories if appropriate -y, --yes Assume Yes to all queries and do not prompt -f FACTOR, --factor=FACTOR Similarity threshold. By default, a minimun of 50% similarity is required before taking action -p PREFIX, --prefix=PREFIX If needed, create new directories beginning with given prefix. You can specify '' or "" if you want to create new directories without prefix
