Indexing a directory structure for audio files

[dror3go]

I've started playing with Scriberr - and even though it currently in an early stage, it's really cool! Thank you so much for working on it.

I'd like to suggest a feature: currently, Scriberr supports file upload which results in it being saved on the server and later being worked on. All files, audio and transcriptions, are being stored directly in the defined directory.

This is fine, but has some limitations. For instance, if I have many pre-recorded files I'd like to use in Scriberr - I'm required to import them. Also, finding all the files flat the files directory might be an issue with large amount of audio files.

I would like to be able to set a directory structure inside the main audio files directory, so that each audio will be stored by some logic, for example all files which were created at 2025 will be stored under /files/2025/, or maybe a random /files/{rand}. Optionally, as a 1st step, Scriberr might be able to recursively go over all sub directories under /files.
Complementary, I'd like to be able to populate the files directory myself, and have Scriberr index the directory to find new files.

For reference, see how PhotoPrism allows importing & indexing.

Hey ! I'm planning to support this. Will keep this thread updated as I implement it.

Just merged this feature to main. Should be available in the next rrelease :) Looking forward to hear your feedback on it..
