feklee / dbx-tools Goto Github PK

I've been trying to do some selective bulk downloads for a specific filetype (ie: download all JPG files in folders of RAW+JPG files), and I ended up doing something like with

# Pull DBX file list.
dbxcli ls -Rl /photography/ > ~/dbx_files.log

# Filter for all JPGs JPGs, and transform the text to just be the path with quotes.
cat ~/ls_output.log | grep '.JPG' | cut -c 55- | awk '{$1=$1;print}' | sed 's/^/"/;s/$/"/' > ~/dbx_jpg_files.log

# Grab all files
cat ~/dbx_jpg_files.log | xargs -n 1 ~/dbx-tools/dbx-get

Unfortunately dbx-get ends up failing if the files are part of a subfolder (eg: /photography/trip1) that is not yet created locally (ie: have not done dbx-cd /photography/trip1). To get it to work, I needed to first dbx-cd all of the folders -- which was quite a lot!

I think this may have been a bit more nuanced too, it only failed if there was an inner folder (eg: /photography/trip1/location1) while the outer folder (trip1) was uninitialized. I'll have to do a bit more testing to figure out when/how it didn't work.

I suspect the right thing to do in these situations is to initialize the folders eagerly here. I'll see if I can get a patch up for this too (:

Thanks a ton for this tool btw, it was very helpful for managing files and just worked (:

Hello. Your readme says tested with dbxcli Git release v2.1.1 but then it lists right below it dbxcli version: 0.1.0, so I'm confused. Are these tools for v2.1.1 or for 0.1.0?

An example:

$ dbx-ls
Sync su NAS/
Cartella del team xxx SNC/
commerciale/
Proter xxx su Dropbox/
Outlook/

$ dbx-cd commerciale

$ dbx-pwd
Current directory not in $DBX_HOME

$ echo $DBX_HOME
/home/xxx/Code/02_xxx/test/dbx-tools/xxx

$ dbx-ls
Sync su NAS/
Cartella del team xxx SNC/
commerciale/
Proter xxx su Dropbox/
Outlook/

I have edited this line in init.sh from:

DOT_DIR="$HOME/.dbx-tools"

to:

DOT_DIR="$HOME/Code/02_xxx/test/.dbx-tools"

I suggest you to permit to set DOT_DIR by export.
