Vinetto.py - The Thumbnail File Parser
positional arguments:
infile depending on operating mode (see mode option), either a location
to a thumbnail file ("Thumb.db" or similar) or a directory
options:
-h, -?, --help show this help message and exit, use -v for more details
-e, --edb EDBFILE examine EDBFILE (Extensible Storage Engine Database) for
original thumbnail filenames
NOTE: -e without an INFILE explores EDBFILE extracted data
NOTE: Automatic mode will attempt to use ESEDB without -e
-H, --htmlrep write html report to DIR (requires option -o)
-m, --mode [{f,d,r,a}]
operating mode: "f", "d", "r", or "a"
where "f" indicates single file processing (default)
"d" indicates directory processing
"r" indicates recursive directory processing from a
starting directory
"a" indicates automatic processing using well known
directories starting from a base directory
--md5 force the MD5 hash value calculation for an input file
Normally, the MD5 is calculated when a file is less than
0.5 GiB in size
NOTE: --nomd5 overrides --md5
--nomd5 skip the MD5 hash value calculation for an input file
-o, --outdir DIR write thumbnails to DIR
NOTE: -o requires INFILE
-q, --quiet quiet output: Errors only
NOTE: -v overrides -q
-s, --symlinks create symlink from the the image realname to the numbered name
in DIR/.thumbs (requires option -o)
NOTE: A Catalog containing the realname must exist for this
option to produce results OR a Windows.edb must be given
(-e) to find and extract possible file names
-U, --utf8 use utf8 encodings
-v, --verbose verbose output, each use increments output level: 0 (Standard)
1 (Verbose), 2 (Enhanced), 3 (Full)
--version show program's version number and exit
