as-utils - A Collection of Utility Scripts

A collection of small, useful scripts for automating common tasks. These tools were designed to help with file management, subtitle processing, and more.

Scripts

No installation required. Simply download the scripts and run them with Python. Each script includes its own documentation and a list of required dependencies.

1. auto_zipper.py

A versatile Python script for managing archives. It:

• Extracts files from .zip and .rar archives.
• Sorts files in natural order (e.g., 1, 2, 10 instead of 1, 10, 2).
• Renames files based on their content:
  • Adds or normalizes file extensions using magic header detection.
  • Pads single-digit numbers with leading zeros.
• Combines the renamed and sorted files into a new .zip archive.
• Treats all files as if they are in a single flat directory (no folder hierarchy is preserved).

This tool is ideal for organizing archives with inconsistent naming conventions or missing file extensions.

2. rename_files.py

This script renames image files in the current directory. It:

• Adds leading zeros to single-digit numbers for consistent naming (e.g., 1.png becomes 01.png).
• Normalizes file extensions to lowercase for uniformity.

This is an older and simpler version of the core functionality of the auto_zipper.py script.

3. as_sassin.py

This script is a web scraper that extracts data from websites based on a configurable config.json. It uses BeautifulSoup to parse HTML and saves results in output.json. It:

• Scrapes multiple modules and handles pagination.
• Customizable via config.json.

Optimized for G-Portál blogs but adaptable for other websites. Customization points are marked in the code.

4. Fontos

⚡ Font Finder and Collector
This application helps manage fonts for .ass subtitle files. It:

• Checks whether the fonts used in a .ass subtitle file are installed on your system.
• Collects the required fonts into a directory for easy packaging or sharing.

Note: Fontos now has its own dedicated repository.

5. SubAssistant

✨ Subtitle Translation Made Easy
A GUI-based desktop tool crafted specifically for .ass subtitle files. SubAssistant is designed for translators and proofreaders, offering features such as:

• Commenting out the original dialogue while writing translations alongside it.
• Allowing proofreaders to review both the original and translated versions within the same file.
• An option to delete the commented-out texts once translation is complete.
• Fontos GUI Integration: Includes tools to check if fonts used in a .ass subtitle file are installed on your system and to collect these fonts into a directory for packaging or sharing.

This tool streamlines the subtitle translation process, making it efficient and user-friendly.

Note: SubAssistant also has its own dedicated repository.
