A script that picks a random selection of files

pick-files is a script that randomly selects a specific number of files from a set of folders and copies these files to a single destination folder. During repeat runs the previously selected files are excluded from the selection for a specific time period that can be specified.

Usage Example


 pick-files --number 20 \
     --destination output \
     --suffix .jpg --suffix .avi \
     --folder folder1 --folder folder2

Would choose at random 20 files from folder1 and folder2 (including sub-folders) and copy those files into output. The output is created if it does not exist already. In this example, only files with suffixes .jpg or .avi are considered.
