Add options to follow Symbolic Links #92

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I can not have a dir with Symbolic links that will be have the links to two 
Dirs I want to check.

Please make the multiple directory config possible, that's give multiple 
directory's possible.
Like /mnt/IOM/Series, /mnt/IOM/TV-SHOWS.

A work around could be, I will make /mn/TVSHOWS symbolic link inside to 
/mnt/IOM/Series with /mnt/IOM/TV-SHOWS. Symlinks inside /mnt/TVSHOWS/ will be 
checked by your very nice program.

I do not want to check the drive /mnt/IOM with more data than Series and 
TV-SHOWS.

In short please make symlink directory's possible to check on sub's.

Thanks for reporting this issue.

I reason why I didn't support symbolic linking is because it might be 
dangerous. It is very easy to loop yourself and python will not prevent this. 
But I understand why you want this feature. In the upcoming version I will, 
support multiple paths and I add and options to allow symbolic links (which 
will be disabled by default, but if you want you can enable it).

Expect a new release around the end of the month

Btw, python2.5 doesn't support symboliclinks. Need to create some workaround 
for this:

Windows also has symlink support, you might want make sure that it also works 
for your Windows users.

mklink [[/d] | [/h] | [/j]] <Link> <Target>

Btw, thanks donny didn't know that.

I have been playing around with the os.walk function. Because we want to 
support python version 2.5 a workaround is needed for symbolic links. I based 
my workaround on the code used in version 2.6 for this feature.

def walkdir(path):
    for dirname, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(path):
        for dirname2 in dirnames:
            if os.path.islink(os.path.join(path,dirname2)):
                walkdir(dirname2)
