I am having trouble running a .sh file. The code 'x=${file_name:0:$z-11}' is giving me a bad substitution error. However when I run in BASH it works. Thing is when this goes to production the .sh will not be running in BASH. Is there a way to substring a string not in BASH or a way to invoke...

NAME

       MaPiVi - Picture Viewer and Organizer
		MaPiVi means Martin's Picture Viewer

DESCRIPTION

       JPEG picture viewer / image management system with meta info support written in Perl/Tk for UNIX, Mac OS X and Windows.

       I wrote mapivi just for me, because I needed a image viewer which is also able to display and edit meta infos of JPEG pictures, like EXIF,
       JPEG comments and IPTC/IIM infos.  As hobby photographer I am mostly interested in the EXIF infos (like timestamp, camera model, focal
       length, exposure time, aperture, etc.) and the possibility to add and edit IPTC infos and JPEG comments.  But I also want to rename
       pictures according to their internal date/time and to do lossless rotation, lossless cropping and other stuff.

       mapivi can be found here: http://mapivi.de.vu (link to the mapivi site) or if this won't work: http://herrmanns-stern.de (real site)
       http://sourceforge.net/projects/mapivi (download)

       I would be happy to receive some feedback (e.g. on which os mapivi works), bugfixes, patches or suggestions about mapivi.

USAGE

       mapivi [-i ] [file|folder]

       to display a certain picture use:

       mapivi picture.jpg

       mapivi will generate and display all pictures in the folder as thumbnails. The given picture will be displayed in original size or zoomed
       to fit the window (picture frame).

       to view a folder containing pictures use:

       mapivi ~/pics/

       mapivi will generate and display all pictures in the given folder as thumbnails.

       to start mapivi with the import wizard

       mapivi -i

KEYS

       mapivi is controlled by the following keys: see also menu Help->Keys (the list is generated from the source code and is always actual.)

       Space, Page-Down
	   Show the next picture in folder

       BackSpace, Page-Up
	   Show the previous picture in folder

       Escape
	   Iconify MaPiVi (Boss-Key :)

       Cursor-up, -down, -left, -right
	   Scroll the picture, if it's bigger than the Canvas

       Shift-Cursor-up, -down, -left, -right
	   Move to the border of the picture, if it's bigger than the Canvas

       q   Quit MaPiVi

	   For all other key bindings, see the menu Help->Keys

MOUSE

       Try the right mouse button in the thumbnail picture list for a popup menu to copy, move, rename, rotate or delete pictures, to open a new
       folder, to add or remove comments or to exit MaPiVi.

       Use the buttons to add, edit or remove JPG comments, or to display all EXIF infos.

       If you hold the mouse over the buttons or labels a help message will pop up (or at least at most of them :).
