https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kraymer/flinck/master/docs/_static/screenshot.png

Features

  • smart extraction of movie name from its folder/file, use IMDB api to get infos

  • sane limited set of configuration options, yet highly flexible directories resulting structure

  • possible to split links into alphabetical buckets (A-C, D-F, etc) for large libraries

Usage

usage: flinck.py [-h] [-l LINK_DIR] --by
                 {country,director,decade,genre,rating,runtime,title,year}
                 [{country,director,decade,genre,rating,runtime,title,year} ...]
                 FILE|DIR

Organize your movie collection using symbolic links

Example: flinck ~/Movies --by genre rating

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.
