[campcaster-support] no spaces - mass import?

    Hi Ferenc

    I don't think this is a bug, just an observation which may help other new
    users avoid problems ...

    Using Terminal for mass import, if I enter

    sudo /opt/campcaster/bin/campcaster-import -l \
    $HOME/music/The Dubliners

    ... the script doesn't work. I get the message "ERROR: I can't find the
    given file: home/jimmy/The"

    If I rename the directory to Dubliners, then enter

    sudo /opt/campcaster/bin/campcaster-import -l \
    $HOME/music/Dubliners

    ... it works perfectly. So a space in the directory name is not allowed,
    apparently.

    This hasn't solved my drag and drop problems, but at least Terminal works
    well. I think the new linking feature is excellent, and the import is very
    quick.

    Jimmy

    Jimmy, try:

    sudo /opt/campcaster/bin/campcaster-import -l $HOME/music/The\ Dubliners

    instead of:

    sudo /opt/campcaster/bin/campcaster-import -l \
    $HOME/music/Dubliners

    That should resolv all of your spaces problems.

    When changing to a directory with spaces like:

    $HOME/Documents/My Best Files

    you must use the back slash betwen each space to say something like
    this:

    $HOME/Documents/My\ Best\ Files

    Hope this helps.

    Regards

    Luis

    Much appreciated ... I'll give it a go. Time for me to learn more about
    Linux, I think!

    Hi Jimmy,

    One tip, if you're stuck to the terminal window. Instead of typing these
    annoying backslashes, you can just type the first few letters of the
    directory name, then hit TAB and you'll be given the rest of the name of
    the directory, or it will just complete a part of it and beep (which means
    that you have several directories that start with the same letters, so you
    type ahead more, or hit tab twice, and it'll show you all your directories
    that start with the same string). Play around it, and you'll get the hang
    of it.

    As for the drag and drop with the desktop launcher, I don't know what is
    that you are doing wrong. I use KDE, not Gnome, but I've seen it working
    under Gnome... Did you do follow Ferenc's latest instructions. It *should*
    work.

    All the best,

    Sava
