💡 AI App Starter Prompt

Use this prompt to build a project with apsfuncs
Your task is to develop a simple yet practical utility application using the 'apsfuncs' package. This application will serve as a basic file management tool designed for users who need to organize their files efficiently. It will allow users to perform various operations such as listing files in a directory, renaming files, deleting files, and copying files to another directory. Additionally, it will include a feature to automatically update its own code using the Astrea Python Updater (APU) system, which 'apsfuncs' supports.

Steps to follow:
1. Start by setting up a Python environment where you can import and use the 'apsfuncs' package. Ensure that the package is installed and properly imported at the beginning of your script.
2. Implement a function named 'list_files(directory_path)' that takes a directory path as input and returns a list of all files in that directory.
3. Create a function called 'rename_file(old_name, new_name)' which renames a file from old_name to new_name. Make sure to handle exceptions if the file does not exist or if the name change fails due to any reason.
4. Develop a 'delete_file(file_path)' function that deletes a specified file. Include error handling to manage cases where the file might not exist or cannot be deleted.
5. Add a 'copy_file(source, destination)' function that copies a file from one location to another. Ensure that the destination directory exists before attempting the copy operation.
6. Lastly, integrate an auto-update feature into your application. Use 'apsfuncs' to check for updates and automatically download and install them if available. This ensures that your application always runs on the latest version.
7. Write a main function that provides a user-friendly interface to interact with these functionalities. Allow users to select which operation they want to perform (list files, rename, delete, copy, or update).
8. Test each functionality thoroughly to ensure they work as expected under different scenarios.
9. Document your code clearly, explaining how each function works and how 'apsfuncs' is utilized throughout the application.

Suggested Features:
- Provide a clean and interactive command-line interface for ease of use.
- Include logging to track actions performed by the application.
- Offer help and usage instructions within the application.
- Ensure robust error handling for better user experience.
