froster index [folders...]
command is used to extract metadata of the given folders using pwalk crawler.This command also has a couple of options:
--pwalk-copy PATH
used to copy the pwalk generated csv to PATH location.--pwalk-csv FILE
to use the given FILE as csv input for the indexer instead of running pwalk again.I have several questions regarding this command:
What should be the standard workflow for a user? Something like this?
froster index [folders...]
to index folders and spot hotspots.visidata
or check directly the generated csv file to spot folders worth archiving.froster archive FOLDER
to archive FOLDER in the AWS S3 bucket.froster delete
orfroster delete [FOLDERS...]
to delete archived files/folders.Why is the hotposts output copied again with the folder the user has write access to?
froster index --archivable-hotspots [FOLDERS...]
?--pwalk-copy FOLDER
--pwalk-csv FILE
maybe?--pwalk-csv FILE
--pwalk-csv FILE
works fine with a single user but it struggles when used in a shared configuration, as the user's colleagues may not know if a folder has been indexed or where the output is located.froster index [folders...]
over a folder that has already been indexed, the command can automatically retrieve the stored information instead of running pwalk again. There could be an option to force the pwalk execution to refresh the folder's metadata.Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
