Simple Python File Manager

This repository contains a Python script that lets you relocate files automatically.

How to use ?

Clone the repository:

Enter your desired folder and execute this command:
git clone https://github.com/aime-risson/pyFileManager.git

Install requirements:

Enter your pyFileManger folder and execute this command:
pip3 install watchdog

Set up the manager:

In the same directory create a new fille called manager.py
After that we will need to import our fileManager handler: MyHandler

from fileManager import MyHandler

handler = MyHandler()

Once imported we will need to create new events.
Events are used to listen to a specific folder and to relocate new files to a folder if their extensions match the desired ones.
For example:

listeningFolder = "Path/to/watched/folder" 
relocateFolder = "Path/to/desired/folder" 
extensionsToInclude = (".yourExtensionInLowerCase", ".jpg", ".png") #Tuple of strings !!!

handler.newEvent(listeningFolder, relocateFolder, extensionsToInclude)

You can use multiple events at the same time to "listen" to other folders, extensions ect...

Launch manager:

To launch manager juste add this to your code:

handler.start()

Full code:

from fileManager import MyHandler
handler = MyHandler()

listeningFolder = "Path/to/watched/folder" 
relocateFolder = "Path/to/desired/folder" 
extensionsToInclude = (".yourExtensionInLowerCase", ".jpg", ".png") #Tuple of strings !!!

handler.newEvent(listeningFolder, relocateFolder, extensionsToInclude)
handler.start()
