Thanks. BTW, it's easier for the devs if you attach the file instead
of putting it in the text (which can lead to copy/paste errors of
varying severity from annoying to won't-apply to
applies-but-won't-compile to
applies-and-compiles-but-doesn't-function-properly). Normally, you
post your, "This patch ..." message and /after/ submitting it, view
the ticket and use the "Attach File" button to attach the file.
I knew that, but I figured for a 1 line patch it wasn't worth it. My bad.
There are a couple of other things that mythlink did that mythrename
doesn't... :)
1) It doesn't delete old links for shows that have been deleted (I
just add an rm * but it's pretty brutal)
Are you sure? It should remove any links (even ones it didn't create
;) in the destination directory before starting to create links and
should die if it fails to remove any of them (so you should get all or
nothing). Lines 226-229 -
http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/mythtv/contrib/mythrename.pl?rev=8364#L225
.
BTW, it works for me.
Hrm. Might be related to the fact that I added that whole sub-directory
thing... :)
2) I like to organize the links by making a folder for each show, and
then just have the shows listed by title and date (again, I hacked
mine, but not nicely)
I'm doing a slightly easier thing that may work for you. Instead of
grouping shows by folder, I create several folders with different
"views" of the files--each sorted differently. I have a script
(mythlink.sh) which creates the views (so I can run a single cron job
to create them all).
When changing from the old mythlink.sh to mythlink.pl, I created the
script as a "functional replacement" of the "upgraded" mythlink.sh
(not the 0.18.1 and below version) in case packagers/etc. wanted it.
Chris decided that the script didn't really warrant inclusion in the
contrib directory and I agreed, but I'm including a copy here for your
viewing. (You'll need to edit the values at the top as described in
the comments.)
Perfect! I'll use this and then I'll stop complaining... :)
Thanks!
Tom
