hide-stash

Everyone has some stuff *cough* porn *cough* they don't want others to see or access. Unfortunately I don't have a Personal Computer, and I had some stuff I wanted to hide. I tried using some softwares but they just didn't seem right. So I made a small script that uses the oldest trick in the book - Renaming Files

Disclaimer

I am not a very experienced programmer and have very little experience. So you might think this script is Shitty.

Limitations

• The .py files have to be at the to of the diretory you want to hide.
• Directory names remain unhanged.
• Some filenames are reserved. (hidden, temp etc.)
• No Unit tests. (Read disclaimer)

Features

• Rename files with a different extension.
• Rollback to original filenames
• Flexible configuration
• Can create backups in case things go wrong. (Not automatially)

Usage

Hide files

Place the .py files in the diretory you want to hide. So if you put the files in /foo/bar/, it will hide all files inside of bar.

Run python rename.py

A file called temp will be created.

Unhide files

Run python rename.py

Backup filenames and structure

Run python backup.py

A file named backup_pickle will be created. Read the internals of backup.py for more info.
