Examples

Below are some examples of how to use archyve.

1. Find duplicates in a large library of images:

   from archyve import Archyve, Entry
   
   # Create an archyve
   archyve: Archyve = Archyve(r"<put your path(s) here>")
   
   # Get a list of all the duplicate images and videos
   archyve = archyve.images + archyve.videos
   duplicate_lists: list[list[Entry]] = archyve.duplicates()
   
   # Sort the duplicates by age
   for i in range(len(duplicate_lists)):
       duplicate_lists[i] = sorted(duplicate_lists[i], key=lambda e: e.created)
   
   # Delete the ones that are not the oldest
   delete: list[list[Entry]] = [duplicate_list[1:] for duplicate_list in duplicate_lists]
   for entry_list in delete:
       archyve.delete(entry_list)
   

2. Get a list of all non-text files recursively in a given directory:

   from archyve import Archyve, EntryType
   
   # Create an archyve
   archyve: Archyve = Archyve(r"p1", r"p2")
   # Filter the archyve entries on whatever you need
   archyve = archyve.filter(lambda e: not e.is_type(EntryType.TEXT))
   for entry in archyve:
      print(entry)
