A helper tool that does that sounds awesome. It would make it much more convenient to manage lots of files that way. There's no way to do that currently. In addition to skipping common ignorable directories, there could be a field in the default config toml for additional ignore patterns. Or maybe just the ability to pass those ignore patterns in on the commandline.
I think it would be pretty straightforward to implement:
There are some helpers for walking paths in the tests that might be useful for spidering the directory to import. I know there is also walkdir
It's a cool idea, my time this month is limited due to work, but I can provide guidance if you (or anyone else) wishes to tackle it
The documentation -- which is great btw -- doesn't seem to address how to import a large number of files into a Supertag collection, and I couldn't find any script of program in the repo tree that would help.
Do you have any best practices to share ? Could we imagine a helper tool for this ? I guess what I'm thinking of, is a program (or a subcommand) that would take as arguments:
<path>
to the directory to importinbox
)--strip-components=2
)and that would
<path>
(possibly ignoring.git
dirs using the ignore crate)inbox
).What do you think ?
