F-spot isn't currently packaged anywhere. It fell into a period of |
| 7 |
lack of maintenance, and had too many build bugs, so most/all distros |
| 8 |
dropped it. I didn't want to change, so I started figuring out how to |
| 9 |
build it myself. My current version continues to work, but I have not |
| 10 |
been able to build a new version in over a year. I can sometimes build |
| 11 |
it under other distros with more up-to-date dotnet stuff. If I ever |
| 12 |
find something like a flat-pack version, I'll let you know. If you |
| 13 |
really want to try, the source is at https://github.com/f-spot/f-spot |

Don't underestimate your scripting abilities. It might take learning a |
| 16 |
bit, but you've done that before :-) Start with modifying your grep |
| 17 |
line so the path to file and grep result are on a single line, you can |
| 18 |
append them to a big file (one line per video with full path to video, |
| 19 |
the size, and some other (hopefully consistent text). You can import |
| 20 |
that into a libreoffice spreadsheet. Even if it's only one column to |
| 21 |
start, you can search/replace to change the static text to a comma or |
| 22 |
something to separate items, then to "text to columns." Then you can |
| 23 |
sort. I think LO can handle ~20K rows, but you could always |
| 24 |
move/convert it to LO Base (it's simple database - sort of like |
| 25 |
MS-Access). Still just use the spreadsheet interface, but underneath, |
| 26 |
it's better able to handle the volume and sorting. |
