📘 log generator

🧩 Overview

This tool is a Python-based log generator designed to help you quickly record and organize information about operations — for instance, when gathering evidence or documenting incidents. It creates a structured folder for each operation, containing a log file and a photo storage directory.

⚙️ Requirements

Before using this tool, ensure you have the following installed:

• Python 3.8+ (Recommended)
• The Tkinter library (usually included with Python)

If Tkinter is not installed, you can install it using:

sudo apt-get install python3-tk  # for Linux

For Windows, Tkinter is included by default in standard Python distributions.

How to Use

1. Run the Program

Save the Python script (e.g., log_generator.py) and run it with:

python logging.py

2. Enter Information

When the window opens, fill in the following fields:

• Operation Name → The main folder name (e.g., Operation_Safeguard).
• Name → The name of the person involved.
• Phone Number → Contact number for reference.
• Address → Location details.
• Location → Where the incident took place.
• Additional Notes → Any relevant information or context.
• Other Logs → Links, notes, or references to other reports.

3. Generate Log

Click the "Generate Log" button.

The program will:

• Create a folder with the operation name.

• Inside it, make two subfolders:

  • logs/ → Contains a log.txt file.
  • photos/ → For storing photo evidence.

A success message will confirm creation with the file path.
