Thanks pointing me that's feature, I already love it… snippet from the doc… When defining a command, you can use the following parameters to supply the external program with some context information from within zim: *%f*for page source as a temporary file *%d*for the attachment <./Attachments.html> directory of the current page *%s*for the real page source file (if any) *%n*for the notebook location (file or folder) *%D*for the document root (if any) *%t* for the selected text or word under cursor So those variable are evaluated by Zim, not by bash. As you proposed in your first answer. It makes sens now. Is this doc (Zim's manual) also available on-line? so we can also put easy link to it. :-) Btw. I believe Josh already got it to work as a bash script. Yep, I experienced some mail address confusion and my reply was never posted in fact. :-\ Regards, Sylvain. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~zim-wiki Post to : zim-wiki@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~zim-wiki More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Sylvain,
Have a look at the "custom tool" feature in zim. You can provide special
codes to get certain arguments to the command.
Btw. I believe Josh already got it to work as a bash script.

Jaap

Hi,
Le 30/10/2013 08:52, Jaap Karssenberg a écrit :
bash -c 'for i in %d/*.JPG; do echo "{{./$i?width=700}}" >> %s; done
Could you put, some lines of what output you expect?
%d and %s and, even %letter, is not a bash feature…
What does this %% means to you?
A small script (read: save the commands into a text file) will do the
trick easily, hopefully. :-)
Of course you can use any other programming language to accomplish the
job, are you under GNU/linux or windows?
As a teaser, here's the command which list all the jpg of the current dir:
for f in `ls | grep -i JPG`; do echo "{{./$f?width=700}}"; done
it ouputs:
{{./planche-photo.jpg?width=700}}
Note that:
ls | grep -i JPG
is a sub command which actually lists the jpg file with case
insensitive, under GNU/Linux it's matter.
Regards,
Sylvain.

Probably the substitution of "%d" and "%f" doesn't work here because they
are only replaced when they appear as single arguments. (You can check what
is actually executed by running "zim -D".)
My guess is that the easiest way to get it to work is to save the script to
a file, using positional arguments in the command ($1 and $2 instead of %d
and %s). Then call the script from the custom command as "bash myscript.sh
%d %s".
Hope this helps,
Jaap

[Zim-wiki] Using bash scripts as custom tools
Hi,
I've been trying to use bash for quick and dirty custom tools but have not
had any luck. I can't understand why this is not working, unless the
quoting is messing up the expansion of %s and %d. Here is the command I
write in custom tools:
bash -c 'for i in %d/*.JPG; do echo "{{./$i?width=700}}" >> %s; done'
It is intended to place all the images in the attachment folder into the
main document. Alas, no luck. I run the custom tool from zim, it updates
the index, but the page is unchanged. Replacing %s by %f does not work. Is
there any way to use bash scripts as custom tools in zim?
Cheers,
Josh
