📂 Project: Dev

Session Goal

The session aimed to implement and integrate a comprehensive file scanning and triaging system using Python, focusing on automation and legacy module integration.

Key Activities

  • Project Ideas Assessment: Evaluated several project ideas for maturity and feasibility, providing actionable recommendations for implementation.
  • Jupyter Notebook Development: Created a Jupyter notebook to scan directories and generate metadata inventories.
  • Folder Scanner Setup: Detailed the setup process for a folder scanner, including metadata collection and enhancement suggestions.
  • Triage Scanner Implementation: Implemented a triage scanner with legacy module integration, generating CSV reports.
  • Legacy Module Loading: Developed stubs for unavailable legacy modules to ensure smooth integration.
  • NLTKTextSplitter Integration: Integrated NLTKTextSplitter into Langchain for text processing.
  • File Scanning Scripts: Created scripts for scanning directories, extracting metadata, and summarizing contents.
  • Legacy Code Integration: Successfully integrated legacy code into the scanner, enhancing robustness.
  • User-Scoped File Triager Setup: Outlined a user-scoped setup for file triaging using systemd without root access.

Achievements

  • Developed a robust file scanning and triaging system capable of handling legacy modules and generating comprehensive metadata reports.
  • Successfully integrated legacy code, ensuring system functionality without missing dependencies.

Pending Tasks

  • Enhance the scanning process with entropy analysis and file organization suggestions.
  • Further refine the integration of legacy modules to improve efficiency and reliability.
