Use of --latest flag deleting links about jw-scripts HOT 4 CLOSED

Thanks for taking time and filling in the bug reports. Must find some better way to test the scripts before releasing. I have identified the problem and will fix it later.

But what do you mean by logging and "all of the output"? Like all files/links created or more info about what is indexed or what? Or more warnings when something's not right, which I know is lacking a bit...

Sounds good. For logging, just basic logging is fine. I was just wanting the scripts console output written to a file. I tried dumping the output by using the > redirect operator, but it wouldn't work for some reason. Could be my error. Ideally I'd like to capture errored or successful runs from your script, then have Automator send me an email on failures. Something like this poster is doing: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22520948/how-to-view-stdout-of-script-run-within-automator
But I know nothing of Python.

The automator job you have would have generated a log file with only the category names, VODChildren and so on if I understand it correctly... Now I know nothing about macOS, but I think it's shell is bash. So in bash you would do 2> to send standard error messages aka stderr to a file or &> to send both stdout and stderr.

So the output is good enough for you already? The problem was just getting it into a file, right?

Now I've fixed the symlinking issue, please try it out again.

I've also added (back - it existed some time ago) a --clean flag. It will clean out all symlinks like before. Why? Well, the "Latest Videos" will just keep adding up forever.... So once in a while, run a new full re-index with --clean to tidy things up.

Working fine now.
