How this automation folder works

The main script that is being run constantly in the background is app.pyw All the other python scripts in here are being imported and called in the main script.

To set up:

1. git pull this repository into a folder
2. Add a var.py file to store the paths and keywords
3. Run run_app.pyw at startup

To end the automation app:

1. Open Command Line
2. Enter this command wmic process where caption="python.exe" get commandline,processid
3. Make sure it is the right task
4. Enter this command taskkill /F /PID {The tasks's PID}

When making a new automation module:

1. Only use paths in var.py
2. Add an exclude parameter that takes in a list defaulted to an empty list
3. Make sure to use the logging module

When adding anything to the main script:

1. Make a new subclass of FileSystemEventHandler
2. Describe clearly what the script does as a comment in the main script
