When launched in a directory, it search contents of the Files sub-directory and creates a Tags directory with symbolic links to original content.

Files should follow the naming convention AAAA-MM-DD[_Tags]+

Install

Rules

Maximum depth of created directories is 3.

If a child directory will not filter more than current, it will not be created.

Tags/ root directory will not contain symbolic link (would be all).

Updates

When adding files you can safely run archivio again to update Tags dir. In case of name changes or deletion old tags will not be updated, but you can simply delete the Tags directory and recreate it by relaunching archivio.
