easier ui for afind (temporary folders with symlinks) #14

Closed lun-4 closed 2 years ago

lun-4 commented 2 years ago

right now afind just returns a list of paths and their tags

while we don't have something akin to a danbooru frontend, maybe we could have an afind --link that would create a temporary directory that has symlinks from all the found files with that query, and run until you CTRL-C'd, deleting that temporary folder on shutdown.

it'd be something like this

$ afind tag1 tag2 tag3
$ afind --link tag1 tag2 tag3
/tmp/awtf/afind-3523ojhlkjf
$ openMyFavoriteFileManager /tmp/awtf/...
