Usage

usage: barcode-simple.py [-h] -s SOURCE [-p {TX,ANHC,VDB,TEST,Ferns,TORCH,EF}]
                         [-b BATCH] [-o [OUTPUT]] [-n] [-c CODE] [-v]
                         [-j [JPEG_RENAME]]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -s SOURCE, --source SOURCE
                        Path to the directory that contains the images to be
                        analyzed.
  -p {TX,ANHC,VDB,TEST,Ferns,TORCH,EF}, --project {TX,ANHC,VDB,TEST,Ferns,TORCH,EF}
                        Project name for filtering in database
  -b BATCH, --batch BATCH
                        Flags written to batch_flags, can be used for
                        filtering downstream data.
  -o [OUTPUT], --output [OUTPUT]
                        Path to the directory where log file is written. By
                        default (no -o switch used) log will be written to
                        location of script. If just the -o switch is used, log
                        is written to directory indicated in source argument.

  -c CODE, --code CODE  Collection or herbarium code prepended to barcode
                        values.
  -v, --verbose         Detailed output for each file processed.
  -j [JPEG_RENAME], --jpeg_rename [JPEG_RENAME]
                        String will be added to JPEG file names to prevent
                        name conflicts downstream.
