SideCarJpegCleaner

A small tool to clean up a folder with raw and jpeg files. It scans the directory for jpg files and removes all without a corresponding raw file.

Dependencies

There are some external dependencies to build the application.

• logrus: This is a little logging library that is quite handy
• iniflags: The iniflags makes handling configuration files and applications parameters quite easy.

Get the source

To get the latest version, you should git clone https://git.haefelfinger.net/piwigo/SideCarJpegCleaner.git to your local disk or into your local go source directory by using ``go get git.haefelfinger.net/piwigo/SideCarJpegCleaner`.

GO modules

The repository supports gomodules so the modules should be resolved automatically during build or test run. But just in case, here are the manual commands to install them. This is needed if you put this repo inside the GOPATH as this sets the module config to ignore.

To get all dependencies at once:

go get ./...

Manual dependency installation

You may install the dependencies manually with the following commands or just use the command under "GO modules" to get all dependencies.

go get github.com/sirupsen/logrus
go get github.com/vharitonsky/iniflags

Build

Build the main executable by using the following command. By default it gets the name SideCarJpegCleaner but can be renamed to your favorite application name.

go build cmd/SideCarJpegCleaner/SideCarJpegCleaner.go

        Path to ini config for using in go flags. May be relative to the current executable path.

Configuration file

It is also possible to use a configuration file to save the settings to be used with multiple directories. To use configuration files, just copy the default one and edit the parameters to your wish.

cp ./configs/defaultConfig.ini ./localConfig.ini
nano ./localConfig.ini

Run the cleaner

Finally you may run the application using the following example command.

./SideCarJpegCleaner -config=./localConfig.ini

It is recommendet to do a dry run first!
