PhotoDir - Importer of Media

This python based application will be used to create a specific folder structure and import media from SD cards.

• It can create a directory structure like this:

Parent
|_Photos
|     |_Final
|     |_RAW
|
|_Videos
      |_Final
      |_Working
      |       |_ProjectFiles
      |       |_Music
      |       |_FusionClips
      |_RAW

• Scan and detect media files from external devices (USB drives, SD cards, etc.)
• Move files into correct folders from above by three methods
  • Manual Import: Select individual files to import
  • Auto Import: Automatically moves all files on device to folders
  • Date Import: Automatically moves files select based on date to folders

TODO (8/1/2018):

• Create Date Import method
• Create 2 frames for organizing GUI
• Clean up the look of GUI
• Continue building on classes for future functions

TODO (8/2/2018):

• Create Import Date button functionality
• Remove 'Move' button from GUI
• Change 'Find' to 'Manual Import' and shift to the right
• Move 'quit' button to bottom right
• ClearQueue after copy job
• Refresh button next to device dropdown

Ideas:

• Display each section on the fly
  • First is the browse/create
  • Then Manual or Device choose
  • Lastly bottom frames
• Lastly, start over
