[REQUEST] A Guide for New Beginners #625

Open biztrHD opened 2 years ago

biztrHD commented 2 years ago

I think creating a step by step picture/video guide for the new users would be cool. Especially since everyone is used to V1's ".exe" format.

  1. How to Install Python / Which Version (Windows Store/Official WebSite)
  2. How to Install BDFR (Command Line/GitHub)
  3. How to Open and Use Commands
  4. How to Create Shortcuts (with commands for 1 click access to app. Just like V1.)
  5. How to convert V1's time format to V2's time format. (And what to use.)

We have a written guide in the README. What is step 4? V2 is very different to V1

step 5 is already answered in the scripts folder

https://github.com/Serene-Arc/timestamp-converter

python3 -m timestampconverter DESTINATION '(\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}_\d{2}-\d{2})' '%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M' --recursive

i created a shortcut of the exe file and added all the commands needed there so its basicially 1 click download what i want.

There is no longer an exe file at all, so that is no longer applicable. There is no possible 'one-click solution' with the current package.

You can make a batch file on windows or bash file on linux to run the program with your given commands.
