foldr-creator

Quick python script to create custom folder structure predefined in a YAML file.

How to use

The repo will contain a .exe file that parses a dir_structure.yaml.backup file. Create a copy of the .yaml.backup and rename it to just .yaml.

How to customize .yaml

Below is a valid .yaml setup, with task1 enabled, one task2 disabled (by being commented out).

where: 'HOMEPATH%\Desktop'
what: 
  - task1:
    - prog: 'Photoshop'
    - dirs: 
      - import
      - export
      - raw:
        - before
#   - task2:
#     - prog: 'Premier Pro'
#     - dirs:
#       - raw
#       - export

How to develop

Tested on Python v3.8.10 (might work with version above 3.6).

Clone to your system:

git clone https://github.com/v4k0nd/foldr-creator

Recommended to use virtualenv's. To install the required packages run:

pip install -r requirements.txt

I used pipenv, so for that, run this (should find that this repo has a requirements.txt file and will install dependencies from there):

pipenv install

I used pyinstaller to compile this to one executable file, as far as I know, you can not cross compile (from linux to windows, and vice versa), so you should compile it on your machine.

To compile it for yourself (to get an executable):

pyinstaller --onefile main.py
