dt-fsck checks the given filenames and directories for oddities such
as incorrect UTF-8 encodings, overlong filenames and such that could
cause problems when the file is moved to different file systems.
A tool to move files and directories around the filesytem, similar to
mv.
Unlike the mv command, dt-move will not fail when a directory of
the same name already exists in the target location, but instead merge
those two directories together.
dt-move is at the moment limited to moving files across a single
filesystem, it will not copy files across filesystems.
dt-find is an alternative to the classic Unix find tool, it
provides a simpler yet more powerful syntax, while lacking many of the
more obscure features of find.
The expressions used to find files are real Python code with some convenience functions added into the mix. An expression to look for files that are younger then 5 days and that are not text files would look like this:
$ dt-find -f 'age() < days(5) and not name("*.txt")'
dt-find also provides print expressions that allow to customize the
output, in this case the file modification date is printed in iso
format followed by the filename:
$ dt-find -p '{iso():>15} {p}' .git/

2015-05-17 .git/config
2015-05-19 .git/ORIG_HEAD
2015-08-13 .git/index
Python's string formating can be used to change alignment and field width.
Calling external programs in tests is possible as well:
$ dt-find -f 'stdout("file -b --mime-type (FILE)") != "text/plain"' -p '{stdout("file -b --mime-type (FILE)"):>16} {p}'

The above call finds all files that are not text/plain and print the
filename along with the mime-type.
The output can also be sorted, using via Python expressions. The value of the expression is used as key for the sorting:
$ dt-find -s 'size()'
Provides a summary of the content of the archive.
A simple script that tries to guess a good filename for an archive file based on the content of the archive.
usage: guessarchivename [-h] [-t THRESHOLD] [-E] [-M MIN_LENGTH] [-m] [-i]
[-b] [-s] [-p] [-v]
FILE [FILE ...]
Find common prefix from archive content
positional arguments:
FILE Archive file to search
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-t THRESHOLD, --threshold THRESHOLD
Threshold for when a character is considered common
(default: 0.8)
-E, --ignore-ext Don't include file extension in the result
-M MIN_LENGTH, --min-length MIN_LENGTH
Minimum result length that is considered valid
-m, --move Rename files to the suggested names
-i, --interactive Ask before renaming each file
-b, --basename Use basename only, not the full path for guessing
-s, --strip Strip unimportant characters from the resulting string
-p, --preserve Preserves the original filename by prepending it to
the output
-v, --verbose Be more verbose
