TagLask

A light weight webapp made on Flask to index and search user files. It contains three files:

• addtags.py
• findmyfiles.py
• webapp.py

addtags.py and findmyfiles.py can be used as a command line application too, seperately, without using the webapp.py

Addtags.py

Use this script to traverse a directory and add tags to it. It can be used as a command line application as following:

python addtags.py -h to ask for help and you'll get the following:

usage: addtags.py [-h] [-d DIRECTORY]

Index & alot tags to files.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -d DIRECTORY, --directory DIRECTORY
                        Recursively traverse given directory and alot tags.

To traverse a directory run addtags.py as following:

python addtags.py -d /home/

or

python addtags.py --directory /home/

This would index all the files under /home/ directory.

Now you can run findmyfiles.py to search for the files.

FindMyFiles.py

Use this script to find the files under the directory already traversed by addtags.py. It can be used as a command line application as the following:

python findmyfiles.py -h to ask for help and you'll get the following:

usage: findmyfiles.py [-h] [-f FILE] [-t TAG]

Find your files.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -f FILE, --file FILE  give filename/pattern to match files.
  -t TAG, --tag TAG     give the tag

It is optional to give filename but tag is essential. This application wouldn't work without tag. Here tag can be anything from pre-defined list (given at the end).

You can run findmyfiles as following:

python findmyfiles -t "WORD DOCUMENT"

OPTIONALLY, you can provide a filename too.

Webapp.py

You can simply run a webapp to traverse, index & search files.

Go to /add to add the files.

Go to /search to search the files.
