Move files with same names

Python script to copy/move files with the same name but different extensions.

About

• The images and annotations needed for neural network training may unequally be in the same/different folders.
• During training, we ensure that the corresponding annotations are present for each image.
• During labeling, it is possible that some images will not contain their corresponding annotations (such as XML, TXT, or JSON).
• This script separates images (all formats such as PNG, JPG, etc.) from the folder based on annotation files (all formats TXT, JSON, etc.).

Usage

 python3 move_file.py --annotations "/folder/containing/annotations/" --ext_a xml --images "folder/containing/images" --ext_i png      

• annotations: You can point to a folder containing annotations based on their file names to move the corresponding images with this flag.
• ext_a: This flag indicates the type of files (annotations) you intend to move. It could be XML, JSON, TXT, etc.
• images This is used for a folder containing several images from which you wish to filter out only those with annotations as specified by the annotations flag.
• ext_i Image extensions, such as PNG, JPG, JPEG, etc., are described here.
• --move (Optional) is used to move files from the original directory. The default behavior is copying files instead of moving unless specified otherwise.
