usb-igc-extract

Tool to automatically extract igc files from USB mass storage devices

The tool will check for any new USB drives attatched to the computer. If the drive matches the file system of a know GPS device then the following will happen:

0a) Prompts for the competion identifier so we can write unique pilot_id files (optional)

0b) Prompts for the ouptup directory for the tasks IGC files.

1a) Checks the pilot ID. The source of this can be changed so that seperate competions don't overlap.

1b) Writes a pilot ID if none is found

2a) Checks for flights from the given date

2b) Prompts for the selection of a specific file if multiple match or none.

3a) Ejects the device.
