I have this VBScript (yes im a Windows man)

I hate Renaming Sorting files so I wrote the Below Script to put My Photos into a Folders Base on Year - Month of when the photo was taken

month name is wriiten by 1 jan (so it sorts it right)

Which read a MemStrick (base on its Drive Name ) and Copy them to Said path

Wife Said " Why do you have to exit XBMC to upload the Photos"

Good Point Dear

So I would Like HEAPS of Help in changing it to phyton

starting with Step1 on Loading Python (which I have done) only cmd line Version only

I think This would make a Good Project for newBE to Flower

and the final out come is to have a Submenu under the Pictures which would Run the Script.


This Code Has Change over time

mark 1: was for a Photo Frame (with a rename Option)
mark 2: only copy the right EXT (show i delete them)
mark 3: just copy files and don't rename them as to stop double ups
mark 4: find the USB card that was plug and scan all folders for images

sorry about the Code not the tidy est

Code:

' This will copy all file and subfolder from Your Photo Location
' and rename then to a number as the photo frame does not care for File Name
' AS you could have File with the Same name in a Differance folder.
' You Need to Setup 5 thing
' 1. StartFrom    where are the Photos
' 2. CopyTo       Which Drive is the Stick in
' 3. EXT_OK       What ext do you want to copy over.
' 4. LenEDI       Just leave this at 7 if you have more than
' 5. Deletefile   Delete file after move  true/false
' 6. RENAMEFILE   Rename the File         true/false
' 7. BASENAME     Letter at the Front     DSC
