Session Goal

The goal of this session was to enhance the DirectoryProcessor class with improved file indexing, metadata extraction, and automation capabilities.

Key Activities

  • Integration of process_file_metadata(): Incorporated into index_files() to enhance metadata extraction and error handling.
  • Enhancements to index_files(): Improved batch processing and ensured UUID assignment.
  • Compatibility Analysis: Evaluated new DirectoryProcessor against older code for performance and batch processing efficiency.
  • Updated chunk_files() Method: Improved file chunking and metadata management.
  • Automated Directory Monitoring: Implemented a watcher mechanism using the watchdog library for continuous file processing.
  • Integration of Watcher System: Integrated the watcher system with DirectoryProcessor for real-time monitoring and processing.

Achievements

  • Successfully integrated metadata processing and automation into DirectoryProcessor.
  • Enhanced error handling and batch processing capabilities.
  • Established a real-time file monitoring system using watchdog.

Pending Tasks

  • Further testing of the integrated system for edge cases and performance metrics.
  • Documentation updates to reflect changes in the DirectoryProcessor functionality.
