On the 10th of February, 2016, I realised the system I have of storing my school documents is aweful. So I'm going to try to change that.
akten
should somehow know which directory is its root. In my case, this will
be ~/school/
.
.
└── work
└── en
├── 0211#exposure.pdf
├── 0211#exposure.tex
└── img
└── 0211#owen.jpg
[Note how the user manually gives the date in the format mmdd#
when saving the
file; I may wish to change this later.]
One should then be able to type akten archive
, and have the following happen:
.
├── archive
│ └── en
│ └── 16-02
│ ├── exposure.tex
│ └── img
│ └── owen.jpg
└── work
└── en
└── img
A child of en/
has been created with the year (16
for 2016) and the month
(02
for February). All the files that began with 02
and had the dddd#
prefix (the d
is for digit) have been moved into this new directory, and
their prefixes removed.
This is the initial idea; it may change. Please leave suggestions if you think it should work a different way.
From the German Aktenschrank, meaning filing cabinet. schrank
and ak
were also considered as names, but were rejected, as ak
feels too ambiguous,
and schrank
takes longer to type.
