Selective Copy v0.3.0

Simple command line application that copies all files with given extensions from a directory and its subfolders to another directory showing progress bar and remaining files counter.
Allows to preserve a source folder structure, to process only files without given extensions, to move files instead of copying, to exclude certain files from processing and to create a log if necessary.
Opens a filedialog if source and/or destination are not given in the command line.
Creates folders in a destination path if they don't exist.

Examples

Changelog

Added

• Black code style

Changed

• The code is now divided into separate modules

• Name of the logfile

Fixed

• Issue when paths like /home/user/test and /home/user/test2 were considered as nested which lead to an error.
