I'm trying the following
How does one go about combining both scripts into one app ?
This below post has a script which does nothing when I add a *.jpg file to my temp folder (osx). https://stackoverflow.com/a/41684432/11184726
Can someone point me towards a course or tutorial that will help me understand how to combine whats going on.
1. GUI :
from tkinter import *
from tkinter.filedialog import askopenfilename
from tkinter import filedialog
from tkinter.messagebox import showerror
globalPath = ""
class MyFrame(Frame):
def __init__(self):
Frame.__init__(self)
self.master.title("Example")
self.master.rowconfigure(5, weight=1)
self.master.columnconfigure(5, weight=1)
self.grid(sticky=W+E+N+S)
self.button = Button(self, text="Browse", command=self.load_file, width=10)
self.button.grid(row=1, column=0, sticky=W)
def load_file(self):
fname = askopenfilename(filetypes=(("Text File", "*.txt"),("All files", "*.*") ))
global globalPath
globalPath = fname
# fname = askopenfilename(filetypes=(("Text File", "*.txt"),("All files", "*.*") ))
if fname:
try:
print("""here it comes: self.settings["template"].set(fname)""")
print (fname)
except: # <- naked except is a bad idea
showerror("Open Source File", "Failed to read file\n'%s'" % fname)
return
if __name__ == "__main__":
MyFrame().mainloop() # All above code will run inside window
print(__name__)
print("the path to the file is : " + globalPath)
2. Watchdog :
from watchdog.observers import Observer
from watchdog.events import PatternMatchingEventHandler
def on_created(event):
# This function is called when a file is created
print(f"hey, {event.src_path} has been created!")
def on_deleted(event):
# This function is called when a file is deleted
print(f"what the f**k! Someone deleted {event.src_path}!")
def on_modified(event):
# This function is called when a file is modified
print(f"hey buddy, {event.src_path} has been modified")
#placeFile() #RUN THE FTP
def on_moved(event):
# This function is called when a file is moved
print(f"ok ok ok, someone moved {event.src_path} to {event.dest_path}")
if __name__ == "__main__":
# Create an event handler
patterns = "*" #watch for only these file types "*" = any file
ignore_patterns = ""
ignore_directories = False
case_sensitive = True
# Define what to do when some change occurs
my_event_handler = PatternMatchingEventHandler(patterns, ignore_patterns, ignore_directories, case_sensitive)
my_event_handler.on_created = on_created
my_event_handler.on_deleted = on_deleted
my_event_handler.on_modified = on_modified
my_event_handler.on_moved = on_moved
# Create an observer
path = "."
go_recursively = False # Will NOT scan sub directories for changes
my_observer = Observer()
my_observer.schedule(my_event_handler, path, recursive=go_recursively)
# Start the observer
my_observer.start()
try:
while True:
time.sleep(1)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
my_observer.stop()
my_observer.join()
Below is the proposed sample code to merge the two scripts (not exactly copy the two scripts into one, but showing the concept of what you request):
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import filedialog
from watchdog.observers import Observer
from watchdog.events import PatternMatchingEventHandler
class Watchdog(PatternMatchingEventHandler, Observer):
def __init__(self, path='.', patterns='*', logfunc=print):
PatternMatchingEventHandler.__init__(self, patterns)
Observer.__init__(self)
self.schedule(self, path=path, recursive=False)
self.log = logfunc
def on_created(self, event):
# This function is called when a file is created
self.log(f"hey, {event.src_path} has been created!")
def on_deleted(self, event):
# This function is called when a file is deleted
self.log(f"what the f**k! Someone deleted {event.src_path}!")
def on_modified(self, event):
# This function is called when a file is modified
self.log(f"hey buddy, {event.src_path} has been modified")
def on_moved(self, event):
# This function is called when a file is moved
self.log(f"ok ok ok, someone moved {event.src_path} to {event.dest_path}")
class GUI:
def __init__(self):
self.watchdog = None
self.watch_path = '.'
self.root = Tk()
self.messagebox = Text(width=80, height=10)
self.messagebox.pack()
frm = Frame(self.root)
Button(frm, text='Browse', command=self.select_path).pack(side=LEFT)
Button(frm, text='Start Watchdog', command=self.start_watchdog).pack(side=RIGHT)
Button(frm, text='Stop Watchdog', command=self.stop_watchdog).pack(side=RIGHT)
frm.pack(fill=X, expand=1)
self.root.mainloop()
def start_watchdog(self):
if self.watchdog is None:
self.watchdog = Watchdog(path=self.watch_path, logfunc=self.log)
self.watchdog.start()
self.log('Watchdog started')
else:
self.log('Watchdog already started')
def stop_watchdog(self):
if self.watchdog:
self.watchdog.stop()
self.watchdog = None
self.log('Watchdog stopped')
else:
self.log('Watchdog is not running')
def select_path(self):
path = filedialog.askdirectory()
if path:
self.watch_path = path
self.log(f'Selected path: {path}')
def log(self, message):
self.messagebox.insert(END, f'{message}\n')
self.messagebox.see(END)
