FIND-MISSING

Find files missing in a folder. This tool is intended to be used with pipx as a normal command line tool.

Installation with PIPX

pip install pipx
pipx install find-missing

Usage with pipx

$ find-missing "foo, bar, spam.jpg"

A file foolitzer.jpg will be a match without the --exact flag.

Options

Exact match only

$ find-missing "foo, bar" --exact/-e

Looks for exact match, otherwise looks for partial match, so in the above example a file foo.jpg will be a match, and a file foolitzer.jpg will not.

Include directories

find-missing "foo, bar" --dirs/-d

Will also check against subdirectories of the current directory.

List separator

The tool will do it's best to find file names separated by anything. So a comma, a space, a semicolon will all work. The dot, underscore and dash will not as they can all be parts of file names.
