Hi I am new to scripting and I do mean a complete noobie. I am working on a script to automatically make a torrent with nemo scripts.
#!/bin/bash
DIR="$NEMO_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS"
BNAME=$(basename "$DIR")
TFILE="$BNAME.torrent"
TTRACKER="http://tracker.com/announce.php"
USER="USERNAME"
transmission-create -o "/home/$USER/Desktop/$TFILE" -t $TTRACKER "$DIR"
It does not work.
However if I replace
DIR="$NEMO_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS"
with
DIR="absolutepath"
than it works like a charm. It creates it on the desktop with the tracker I want. I think this would come in handy for many people. I dont really know what to put. Have questions please ask. Again complete noobie.
