pycatalog
Pycatalog is a commandline Linux/FreeBSD program for indexing CD, DVD, BR or directories on filesystem. It is similar to gtktalog or gwhere. There is no coincidence in name of application, because it's meant to be replacement (in some way) for gtktalog, which seems to be dead project for years.
Note, that even if it share same code base with pyGTKtalog, which was meant to be desktop application, now pycatalog is pure console app, just for use with commandline. You can find last version of pyGTKtalog under pyGTKtalog branch, although bear in mind, that it was written with `python 2.7`_ and pyGTK_, which both are dead now.
Current version is 3.0.
Features
Scan for files in selected media
Support for grouping files depending on file name (expected patterns in file names)
Store selected EXIF tags
Add/edit description and notes
Fetch comments for images made in gThumb
And more :)
Requirements
pycatalog requires python and following libraries:
python 3.10 and up
exifread for parse EXIF information
mutagen for extracting tags from audio files
Pycatalog extensively uses external programs in unix spirit, however there is small possibility of using it Windows (probably with limitations) and quite big possibility to run it on other sophisticated unix-like systems (i.e. BeOS/ZETA/Haiku, QNX or MacOSX).
Programs that are used: * midentify (provided by mplayer package)
For development process following programs are used:
Instalation
You don't have to install it if you don't want to. You can just change current directory to pycatalog and simply run:
$ paver run
That's it. Alternatively, if you like to put it in more system wide place, all you have to do is:
put pycatalog directory into your destination of choice (/usr/local/share, /opt or ~/ is typical bet)
copy pycatalog shell script to /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin or in other place, where PATH variable is pointing or you feel like.
then modify pycatalog line 6 to match right pycatalog.py directory
Then, just run pycatalog script.
