Mad Snake - Many Python scripts updated to ease its use

Andrej Ficko requested to merge mad-snake into master

New scripts

Featuring extract_custom.py to replace extract_reverse_text_to_english.py

  • This new script can customise the source and destination locale for transcript (re)generation.
  • It will be useful for non-English-based translations and new episodes.
  • It incorporates some recent improvements of extract_text.py.

New script for finding and fixing SVG dimension problems

  • fixes problems that result in wrong selection when converting old translation file in Inkscape. (Should select:)

Updated scripts

Updated regenerate_transcripts.py:

  • Ability to pass arguments after readme
  • Added argument to generate new .md's as alternative interface to extract_text.py
  • Improved input argument system (similar to link_creator.py)
  • Ability to detect and convert inherited .md files from copied translations
  • Added argument to only convert wrong .md files (useful for validate-transcripts.sh)
  • some readme improvements

Updated combined_html_generator.py:

  • Ability to pass arguments after readme
  • single argument filter that extracts data from absolute path + drag & drop for Windows users
  • Improved input argument system (similar to link_creator.py)
  • some readme improvements

Minor updates:

  • link_creator.py - ability to input arguments after readme & minor Windows compatibility improvements
  • minor bugfixes for find_anomalies.py
  • Updated polib.py to version 1.2.0
  • Added gitignore for Windows' Thumbs.db extra file resulting from samba/Virtualbox sharing from Linux host

Updated extract_text.py and extract_to_html.py:

  • Improved user experience: Windows users can drag & drop file/folder to these 2 scripts (works with links too)
  • when executed with wrong arguments outside the command line, the script will pause at readme
  • single argument filter that extracts data from absolute path or 'episode/locale' (as possible typo)
  • extract_text.py: made main() import available for other python scripts
  •                   (Q.A. passed sticker)

Yes! Now you can do this: (Only on Windows)

Many scripts can now be oppened as normal file and operated from there (ipython on Linux).

Tested on Manjaro with Python 3.12 ; Windows 7 with Python 3.8 ; Windows 11 (couldn't test drag&drop, worked for other user) ... Does anyone care about testing it on OSX?

David, I propose adding $scriptdir/regenerate_transcripts.py convert all to the beginning of validate-transcripts.sh to properly convert wrong locales, instead of just renaming and validating it.

Pipeline artifact expire change is a part of the plan to upgrade the documentation.
