ams_linker.py config.dot Or, if you imagine a unified command:

filedot folder link ams txt link --config config.dot --output links.txt 3.1 Windows Implementation Using mklink On Windows, modify the create_folder_links function:

#!/usr/bin/env python3 import os import sys def parse_filedot(dotfile): links = [] txt_output = None with open(dotfile, 'r') as f: for line in f: if line.startswith('link'): parts = line.split() if len(parts) == 3: links.append((parts[1], parts[2])) elif line.startswith('txt_output'): txt_output = line.split()[1] return links, txt_output

if == " main ": dotfile = sys.argv[1] if len(sys.argv) > 1 else "config.dot" links, txt_out = parse_filedot(dotfile) if not links: print("No links found in filedot") sys.exit(1)

import subprocess def create_folder_links_windows(links): for src, dst in links: if os.path.exists(dst): continue subprocess.run(["mklink", "/D", dst, src], shell=True) Your file.dot could contain dozens of links. The links.txt output serves as an audit trail or can be consumed by another process (e.g., backup system, web server configuration). 3.3 Combining with Cloud Storage If ams stands for Amazon Media Services or Azure Media Services , you could extend the script to create links to mounted cloud storage buckets (e.g., S3 via s3fs ). 3.4 Reverse Linking – Updating the TXT File from Existing Links You might also want to generate a links.txt from existing folder links:
