FMM Directory Compressor

Compress a directory into a single .FSA file. This library was build for the Filmage Media Manager to create project directory structures.

Installation

Linux

Debian/Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install fmm-directory-compressor

Python API

pip install fmmpy-directory-compressor

Note the pip refers to the Python 3 package manager. In environment where Python 2 is also available the correct command may be pip3.

Usage

CLI

Compress directory

fmm-directory-compressor compress-directory path/to/src path/to/dst

You'll be asked to provide a filename. A .fsa file will be generated. If you are using windows, the compression might fail when your source directory contains paths that are longer than 260 characters. These file paths can be ignored with the --skip-long-paths flag, but with this method these files/directories wont be present in the compressed file.

Decompress directory

fmm-directory-compressor decompress-directory path/to/file.fsa path/to/dst

You'll be asked to provide a root directory name. The directory structure will be rebuild.

Python API

The python wrapper yields the same functionality as the CLI application. Just include the library and you're ready to go.

import fmm_directory_compressor

## Compress directory
fmm_directory_compressor.compress_directory("path/to/src", "yourfilename", "path/to/dst")

## Decompress directory
fmm_directory_compressor.decompress_directory("root-directory-name", "path/to/yourfile.fsa", "path/to/dst")
