Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi.

As you may (or may not) know:
Here is the sample command that I find interesting:

Code:

google picasa post --title "Vermont Test" ~/old_photos/*.jpg #  Add to an album

So I am using ubuntu and a while ago, I found a nice little script that opens the terminal right from the folder that is currently opened. That saves me a lot of time as I don't have to repeatedly type 'cd' in the cmd line; I can run the script by right-clicking anywhere in Nautilus (Ubuntu's "Explorer").

Here is the code for the 'Open Terminal Here' script:

Code:

#!/bin/bash 
# From Chris Picton 
# Replaces a Script by Martin Enlund 
# Modified to work with spaces in path by Christophe Combelles 
  
# This script either opens in the current directory, 
# or in the selected directory 
  
base="`echo $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_CURRENT_URI | cut -d'/' -f3- | sed 's/%20/ /g'`" 
if [ -z "$NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS" ]; then 
     dir="$base" 
else 
     while [ ! -z "$1" -a ! -d "$base/$1" ]; do shift; done 
     dir="$base/$1" 
fi 
  
gnome-terminal --working-directory="$dir"

So what I want to do is add the picasa command above to this script. That will obviously let me upload all photos from an opened album folder directly to a picasa album.

So far I tried adding the picasa command at the last line of the "O.T.H" script, and some other variation, but I can't get that command to be executed.

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Thx

BUMP...

why not just create a script with an argument to specify location of folder to upload>?

I do not know how to do that :S

Code:

#!/bin/bash
google picasa post --title "$1" $2/*.jpg #  Add to an album

save the script to anyname.sh
chmod 755 anyname.sh
to upload pictures
./anyname.sh title path
ie. ./anyname.sh UNIXPICS /home/user/UNIXPICS

When I use this instead, for creating an album and uploading photos from it:

Code:

google picasa create --title "$1" $2/*.png

It still asks me to specify the title, when I want it to be named just like the folder I'm uploading photos from.

Also, the command fails even when I specify any title :S
