image-index

This project is a collection of scripts which can index and sort files on your pc. You can give every file a title, category, source, tags and content for easier finding later on.

Functions

• add - Add a file and entry to the index
• check - check if all files saved in the index exist and aren't faulty
• delete - delete a file and remove the entry
• open - open one or more files from the index in the default application (only Linux and Windows)
• show - search through the index and show the matches
• update - change a value of an entry in the index or move a file to another category

Installation

git clone https://gitlab.com/rodin_schule/image-index-py.git
cd ./image-index-py
cp config-def.py config.py

Configuration

The file config.py holds some very important variables which you need to look at before using the index:

• ROOT_DIR: The absolute path of where you want to save your files (the directories for the categories will be created there)
• CONFIG_DIR: The absolute path of where you want to store your index.db-file.
