# Directory Reader

### Creating directories

This is to create folders for each month (e.g. 01\_06, 01\_07, etc.)

1. Launch script
2. Select "Yes" when you are asked whether you want to "Create all Files?"
3. Browse to the subject's **MAIN** folder; this is labeled with their birthday (ex. *01\_02-03-2014*)
4. Confirm the subject's ID in the next dialog box (01 in the example above)
5. Confirm that all sub-folders were generated in the subject's directory

### Sorting into directories

1. Launch script
2. Select "No" when you are asked whether you want to "Create all Files?"
3. Select whether you are sorting files for a month that includes a lab visit (i.e. even months)
4. In the first pop-up window; navigate to the folder (within ''Subject\_Files'') where you want to move the files of interest (e.g. *Subject\_Files/01\_02-03-2014/01\_06*)
   * This step also creates the directory if does not already exist
5. In the second pop-up window; select the proper folder (within ''Working Files'') that contains the files you want to move (e.g. *Working\_Files/01\_06*).
6. The resulting window first lists all files that were named incorrectly, according to the [File Naming](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zcEHtiX1ev_wIeCLrgw2ek-H7QfonmW-1OGfpkGS1qI/edit?usp=sharing) doc
7. Sometimes a file may be considered incorrectly named by the script when it is actually not (e.g. some may be due to a corrupted video process, backup copies of coding files, etc.)\

8. The window also lists the files that were not replaced because they already exist in the final destination folder
9. This may happen if the *Working\_Files* folder contained a copy of an audio file, notes word document, or coding file that was already within the *Subject\_Files*destination
10. In these cases, you must manually check to see which is the correct file and then move it into the final directory for that subject \

### Some housekeeping

1. Make sure to mark that you have completed the *(Final)File Organization* and *Due* tasks as complete on ASANA
2. Archive (do NOT delete) the project
3. Delete the empty folders from *Working\_Files*
