Compress a directory into a single .FSA file.
The project has not yet been published to any APT repository, but a .deb build is provided here.
Windows installer is provided here. The installer does not automatically it to the system environment path.
pip install fmmpy-directory-compressor
Note the pip refers to the Python 3 package manager. In environment where Python 2 is also available the correct command may be pip3.
fmm-directory-compressor compress-directory path/to/src path/to/dst
You'll be asked to provide a filename. A .fsa file will be generated.
If you are using windows, the compression might fail when your source directory contains paths that are longer than 260 characters. These file paths can be ignored with the --skip-long-paths flag, but with this method these files/directories wont be present in the compressed file.
fmm-directory-compressor decompress-directory path/to/file.fsa path/to/dst
You'll be asked to provide a root directory name. The directory structure will be rebuild.
The python wrapper yields the same functionality as the CLI application. Just include the library and you're ready to go.
import fmm_directory_compressor
## Compress directory
fmm_directory_compressor.compress_directory("path/to/src", "yourfilename", "path/to/dst")
## Decompress directory
fmm_directory_compressor.decompress_directory("root-directory-name", "path/to/yourfile.fsa", "path/to/dst")
