I want to find graphic files on an external disk then create soft links to those files in a folder on my machine. I have a problem with file names: if there are two graphic files in different directories but with the same file name, a link is created only for the first file i.e the 2nd file is skipped. Any suggestion on how to overcome this greatly appreciated. Is there a way to give a new filename in the soft link for a file name that already exists?
Hi all!
I'd like to know the differences between hard links and soft links. I've already read the ln manpage, but i'm not quite sure of what i understood.
Does a hard link sort of copy the file to a new name, give it the same inode number and same rights?
What exactly should I do to do this:... (3 Replies)

DESCRIPTION
tuxpaint-import is a simple shell script which uses some NetPBM (pnm(5)) tools (anytopnm, pnmscale and pnmtopng) along with date(1) to con-
vert an arbitrary image file (e.g., a JPEG, GIF, etc.) into a PNG(5) file which can be used by the drawing program Tux Paint (tuxpaint(1))
and places it in the user's Tux Paint saved-files directory ($HOME/.tuxpaint/saved/).
EXAMPLE
tuxpaint-import picture.jpg photo.png cartoon.gif
ENVIRONMENT
$HOME to determine where the files should go so that they can be access within Tux Paint using its Open command.
FILES
$HOME/.tuxpaint/saved
where new image files are stored, after being resized and converted into PNG format.
$HOME/.tuxpaint/saved/.thumbs
where thumbnail images are stored.
