Tiny Automation Manager.

Project TAM.

GOAL:

The very reason of this project is to make Your life easy at least for a little bit thanks to efficient automation of daily routine.
FUNCTIONS:

For now, TAM makes possible to find files in whatever directory and run them with chosen viewers. hmmm.. yea, looks rather boring ain't it??? ) well, let's look on some examples & details will show You how this "boring" feature can make Your life better.
Examples:

So, actually we have hella number of files & we (in many cases) need to use regex to make searching through that endless damn heap efficient, but the most of us have no time to learn such stuff + regex software have some differences. 2nd moment, we need not just run files, but run them with different options. So, let's deal w/ example..

python3 ./tam.py -path0 "/tst" -find_files -tmp_file "/tmp/tst02" -in_name ".mp4" -view_w "vlc --sout-x264-b-bias=-15" -view_w "smplayer" -cols 2 -rows 15 -col_w 100 -in_name "some"

-path0 sets folder to search stuff.
-find_files activates function to search.
-tmp_file sets tmp files (actually, the're two tmp files: in our case, /tmp/norm_tst02 & /tmp/err_tst02).
-in_name sets keyword.
-view_w sets viewer w/ options.
-cols sets number of columns.
-rows sets number of rows.
-col_w sets width of column.
+++++++++++++
This command forms table of found files, each file gets a number + we see list of viewers (each viewer has own key number too)..

To run file, we write "<key number of viewer> <key number of file>", then press Enter. for instance, "0 2" runs file (key number "2") w/ viewer (key number "0").

Command "np" shows next page/table.
"pp" - previous page.
"go2 <number of page/table>"
"0p" - 1st page.
"lp" - last one.
"fp " shows full path to chosen file.
ctrl + c to exit.
Supported Platforms:

So far, TAM has been tested only for Linux. However, theoretically this variant must work on FreeBSD, NetBSD & MacOS quite smoothly (but i don't guarantee it).

P.S. My apologies, if this is a wrong thread for my post.

 

v 1.8-43 has featured advanced path auto-completion, so the're possible to deal efficiently not only w/ lengthy paths, but also w/ keyboard's limits.
