Great video on how to use Python for day to day tasks. Thank you. Please make more of these types of "system admin" videos.👍

wish u had made this video 6 months ago. i have already figured out all this but it took me a lot of digging.

Thank you and more like this please! I've just been trying to implement a recursive folder search, remove or rename in Bash and it had me tearing my hair out. It would have been much simpler in Python.

it's great.previous time I have used os module to deal with my video files, such as rename, move, etc.but my code was too tricky to read and not easy to rebuild.this video inspire me to modify my code!

Very nice tutorial. Thank you for making it. The final cleanup script is a good way to close out the video.

It’s better to convert your file’s extension to lower case before type checking, since there could be MP4 and mp4 on desktop

How would this handle a window’s indexing error?

While using an unlocked Veracrypt container, power was lost. It’s not repairable and the files are still there and can be opened but when trying to copy them off, an error gets generated after every single one requiring a click. While using native copy/paste functions in Windows.

This wouldn’t be so bad if this was a handful of files, or even a few hundred, I could make an afternoon out of it and just get it done. However, we’re talking thousands of files here. Basically photos of my kids entire childhoods.

I really don’t want to lose them but it’s incredibly annoying to manually pull them off.

And I no longer use Veracrypt unless I have battery backup

Ok!
wish you make one for an.ordering. system.. thanks

it's saying name isn't identified. idk how you ran the code without identifying the name
