positional arguments:
  directories           director(ies) to upload

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -c CONFIG, --config CONFIG
                        bisque config ~/.bisque/config
  --profile PROFILE     Profile to use in bisque config default
  -n, --dry-run         report actions w/o changes
  -d, --debug           print debugging info
  -q, --quiet           print actions
  -a CREDENTIALS, --credentials CREDENTIALS
                        A bisque login.. admin
  --bisque-host BISQUE_HOST
                        Default bisque server to connect to
  --tag TAG             fixed name:value pair. Any number allow
  --path-tags PATH_TAGS
                        tag names for a parsible path i.e.
                        /project/date/subject/
  --re-tags RE_TAGS     re expressions for tags i.e.
                        (?P<location>\w+)--(?P<date>[\d-]+)
  --include INCLUDE     shell expression for files to include. Can be repeated
  --exclude EXCLUDE     shell expression for files to exclude. Can be repeated
  --dataset DATASET     create dataset and add files to it
  --threads THREADS     set number of uploader threads
  -s, --skip            Skip upload if there is file with the same name
                        already present on the server
  --tagmap TAGMAP       Supply a map tag/value -> tag/value found in tag path
                        and re decoder. carp=carpenteria or @tagmap.csv
  --tagtable TAGTABLE   Table of fixed tags to add to resource: First column
                        is key
  --tagkey TAGKEY       Used with tagtable can be filename, image_path or any
                        extracted tag

Examples

1. Simple decoding of path/filename into metadata tags

   bq-dirupload --skip --include *.JPG --tag activity:bear  --re-tags "(?P<location>\w+)_(?P<camera>\w+)__(?P<date>[\d-]+)__(?P<time>[\d-]+).*" ~/Desktop/pics/bears/

2. Complex mapping of path/filename metadata into tag

   bq-dirupload -n  --threads 1 --re-tags "(?P<photo_site_code>\w+)_(?P<target_assemblage>\D+)(?P<plot>\d+)_(?P<season>\D+)(?P<year>\d+).+\.JPG" --dataset upload --tagmap @speciesmap.csv --tagmap @locationmap.csv --tagmap fa=fall --tagmap 15=2015 --tagtable photo_code_reference_2019_0912.csv --tagkey photo_site_code

   Magic decoder ring:

-n : dry run
--threads 1: one thread for debugging
--retags :   use filename to create tags: photo_site_code, target_assemblage, season and year.
--dataset : create a dataset "upload"
--tagmap @speciesmap.csv: use value ins speciesmap.csv to rename tag/values for target_assemblage
--tagmap @locationmap: Use location map to rename tag/value from phto_site_code
--tagmap fa=fall : rename season 'fa' to 'fall'
--tagmap 15=2015 : remame year from '15' to 2015
--tagtable photo_code... :   table of fixed tag data keyed by --tagkey
--tagkey   photo_site_code:  use photo_site_code to key into tagtable to read extra tags```
