Feature request: Watch folder(s)

Open kvn1351 opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

It would be very cool if we could add directories where PDFs and ePubs would automatically get added to the library.

Perhaps even with tags according to the directory tree.

What do you think?

My personal use case would be to have a cloud-synced folder with notes that get annotated on a Tablet during my lectures. And then they'd end up in Anki right away :)

I actually once did something similar, which still exists in the code, but I never advertised it. See line 51-53 in src/index/indexin.py > build_index(). It was only for markdown files though, but besides that, it pretty much worked like you described (even with the folders as tags). I happily accept any PRs, but at the moment, I don't have time to add bigger features, sorry.

Oh, cool :) I'll definitely play a bit with that.

I totally understand by the way. I'm in the same boat. I'll make a PR this summer perhaps :)
