# 2
from UtilityLib import UtilityManager as UM
UM().filename("filepath/filename.ext1.ext2")

# 3
import UtilityLib as UL
UL.UM.filename("filepath/filename.ext1.ext2")
UL.UtilityManager().filename("filepath/filename.ext1.ext2")

# 4
from UtilityLib import ProjectManager
_pm = ProjectManager(
  path_bases=("/mnt/D/DataDrive", "D:/path-windows")
  version=2,
  subversion=202211
  )
_pm.config.new_key.deeper_new_key = "new_value"

# Update Old Config
_pm.update_config()

# Save as a new version but later change key
_pm.update_config(subversion=20221103)

Quickly compress files to tar.gz (tgz) format and remove the directory

Later the files can be read directly from the tgz compressed file

_wos_files = EU.search(f"{path_scrapped_queries}/WOS-Downloads", "*.csv")
EU.add_tgz_files(f"{path_scrapped_queries}/WOS-Downloads.tgz", _wos_files)
EU.delete_path(f"{path_scrapped_queries}/WOS-Downloads")
