TosecMover

TosecMover is a TOSEC Dat parser and file mover. It is a simple tool to:

• scan files
• detect matching to a given TOSEC dat file or directories of Dat files
• move & rename the matched files into a destination folder structure

You properly want a more suffisticated tool like JRomManger. The benefit of this it runs from the shell without ui.

The current fixed destination structure is determened by the name tag of the Tosec Dat file e.g. Acorn BBC - Games - [ADL] will create:

Acorn BBC/Games - [ADL]/<game name>

If a game contains multiple files or ROMs the structure is:

Acorn BBC/Games - [ADL]/<game name>/<rom name>

Currently the tool does NOT support:

• not multithreaded
• diagnostic could be improved
• more flexible destination
• compression/decompression for target files
• files in ZIP archives can be scaned, but only extracted not moved
