maid-sweeper 0.6.9

A maid that sweeps your files

Maid Sweeper for files

Instead of cleaning the unused files, it calls a maid to label them and sweep them under the rug accordingly.

However, the maid can practice Danshari given permission. For example, she can sell your unused iPad for money.

Feature

• Asyncio
• MongoDB
• Not scanning every single file inside code and program directories, saving time
  • Avoid accessing metadata
• Kyoufu

Installation

1. Have Python 3.11 (as it used some fancy type hints that is incompatible with <3.11).
2. Install the requirements by running pip install ..

Usage

1. Start a MongoDB instance.
2. Run python maid.py tag D:\Study, then you can find tagged entries in Database 'sweep_maid' Collection 'file_metadata'. Then it can be used for further processing.
3. Run python maid.py sweep video,game rm -rf {}, the maid is going to remove all 'video' or 'game' tagged files and directories.
   • As fire is used, it is about the best we can get, without custom deserializer

TO-DO

• Remove type hints

• Better readme

• Tag based on time

  • How does it affect other tags? If not why bother?
  • Maybe not tag, but just metadata
  • There will be IO cost

• Group similar named files

• Automatically carry out actions based on the tags, like Dan, Sha and Ri, etc.

• Understand human language so they can toss away garbage

• Better command line interface

  • have to escape {} for fire

• Optionally clean up the database after sweeping.

• Single line mode: do the tag, sweep, and clean up database entries with a single command.
