Indexer is a Python script that generates an .html index of files within a selected directory. You can start from the current directory or from folder passed as first positional argument. Optionally filter by file types with --filter "*.py". This script is an hodgepodge of older scripts collected & built over the years.

- This script requires you to have Python > 3.x.x installed on your system.
- Ideally use the current build of Python 3.10 (significantly faster processing on larger directories! 🏃)
python3 indexer.py /top_dir
top_dir: top folder from which to start generating indexes (uses current working directory/folder if not specified).
-h, --help: show help message (along with available options)-f, --filter: only include files matching glob (i.e.indexer.py --filter '\**/*.jpg'*).-o filename, --output-file filename: Custom output file (by default generates "index.html")-r, --recursive: recursively process nested folders/directories (Off/False by default).-v, --verbose: verbosely list every processed file. (NOTE: will take longer time with complex file tree structures on slow terminals.)
- File Size & Modified Time display for each file.
- Create a custom output file (by default index.html is generated).
- Ability to match/filter specified parameters using glob ('*/.jpg' & '*/.UFD').
