Configuration

~/.config/flinck/config.yaml corresponding to the screenshot above :

link_root_dir: '/Volumes/Disque dur/Movies'

genre:
    dirs: true
    buckets: true

rating:
    link_format: %rating-%year-%title
    dirs: false
    buckets: true

decade:
    dirs: true

Top settings:

• link_root_dir: where the folders tree will be created. Must exist beforehand.

Then, you can define a section for each metadata field you want to sort by. Inside it, available settings are :

• root: root dirname (or relative path from link_root_dir) for this metadata field. Default: the metadata field name.

• link_format: symlink naming format. Default: %title-%field

• dirs: put symlinks into an intermediary directory named after the field value. Default: no

• buckets: put symlinks into a parent matching directory if it does exist. Any directory that contains the field value or defines a matching range is valid.
