Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting a little help with find and directory path for application Post 302582563 by barrydocks on Friday 16th of December 2011 10:37:47 AM
Old 12-16-2011
I also tried -execdir as this is supposed to execute the command from the directory where the file is, but still no luck?

Code:
~ $ find /media/ExtHDD/mp3 -type f -name "*.mp3" -execdir  eyeD3 --add-image=cover.jpg:FRONT_COVER \'{}\' \;
File Not Found: './Cry Wolf.mp3'
File Not Found: './Crying in the Rain.mp3'
File Not Found: './Early Morning.mp3'

Smilie

Would it be possible to use the printf %h to specify the path?
Thanks
