Flowchart of inputs/outputs with editable arrows, service page (status,
controls, autostart, version, logs), config editor (form + raw), templates,
tools (warnings, filename tester, failed files) and settings with
SaraFem-compatible export/import. AppImage build and a SaraSuite manifest
in Packaging/.

SaraSort

A GUI for configuring SaraSortd, built with Flet. SaraSort doesn't sort anything itself: SaraSortd stays the backend, and SaraSort reads and edits its configs and controls its systemd user service.

Needs SaraSortd 7.1 or newer for arrows with their own patterns (per-entry ValidInputDirs).

Pages

  • Flow: every input (red), output (blue) and both (purple) directory as a box, with arrows labelled with the file patterns that travel along them. Click a label to see all of its patterns. Boxes start in columns and can be dragged (positions are kept in Layout.toml). In Edit mode: click a directory, then the one it should sort into, and type the patterns. Each pattern becomes its own [[Files]] entry in the output's config, with its own ValidInputDirs, and the other settings come from OutputDirConf.toml (the template). Click a label to add or remove patterns, remove the arrow, or save it as a template. Click a box to remove it or open its config.
  • Service: running/stopped, start/stop/restart, start on login, SaraSortd's version (and the SaraSuite install it came from), and its logs: its own log files or the systemd journal.
  • Configs: GlobalConf.toml, the two templates and every directory's own config, as a form (with help text, a live NewFileName preview and variable buttons) or as raw TOML. Saving only writes the values you changed, so SaraSortd's own NextNum/NextChar/LastFile updates aren't overwritten.
  • Templates: ready-made connections (Pictures, Videos, Music, Documents, Archives, Git repositories, Logs, 3D printing, Installers, Backup copy) that only ask for an input and an output. Your own templates are TOML files in ~/.config/SaraSuite/SaraSort/Templates/.
  • Tools: warnings about the setup (Unset values, version mismatches, outputs nothing reaches, inputs without outputs, entries shadowed by a catch-all), a filename tester that shows where a file would go and why, and the files in FailedDir with a retry button.
  • Settings: the shared SaraSuite appearance, SaraSort's own settings, where SaraSortd lives, and export/import in the same file format as SaraFem's ([SaraSuite] plus [SaraSort]).

After a change to GlobalConf.toml (new inputs or outputs) SaraSort restarts SaraSortd, since SaraSortd only reads that file when it starts. That can be turned off in Settings.

Where things live

Path What
~/.config/SaraSuite/Config.toml shared SaraSuite settings (theme, font, title bar)
~/.config/SaraSuite/Themes/ the themes
~/.config/SaraSuite/SaraSort/Config.toml SaraSort's own settings
~/.config/SaraSuite/SaraSort/Layout.toml where flowchart boxes were dragged to
~/.config/SaraSuite/SaraSort/Templates/ your own templates
~/.config/SaraSuite/SaraSortd/ SaraSortd's configs, as SaraSuite installs them (changeable in Settings)

Running and building

  • From source: python3 -m venv .venv && .venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt, then Packaging/Launch.sh.
  • AppImage: Packaging/BuildAppImage.sh builds dist/SaraSort-x86_64.AppImage (PyInstaller one-file build + appimagetool, like SaraSuite's and SaraFem's).
  • SaraSuite: Packaging/SaraSuite/ is a ready manifest (Manifest.toml + Templates/) to copy into SaraSuite's Programs/SaraSort/.
