Hi,
my guess is that we would need to look at the script. I imagine that the
script assumes input files to be residents of the same directory as the
script or the current (working) directory.
One thing you could do is add the Python script to your path, which means it
can be run from any directory rather transparently, much like 'ls' or 'cd'.
I am not sure if copying to file to one of the binary directories, e.g.
/usr/bin/ would achieve this, but it's worth trying. This should work for
executable files, but I don't know about scripts like Perl or Python.
Here is an alternative. Create an executable (shell) file and set its
permission to executable. Have it contain the Python script with its full,
non-relative path e.g.:
,----[ convert.sh ]
| #!/bin/bash
|
| python /home/tomas/convert-to-mp3.py
`----
Set the file's permissions:
chmod 700 convert.sh
Log in as root
Now copy the file to your binaries directory (careful here as I am not
entirely sure this is possible)
cp convert.sh /usr/bin/
Now, go to the directory with the .WAV files, e.g.:
cd ~/music/wav
And convert
convert.sh
Have a play with this. I am just suggesting ideas off the top of my head.
Perhaps the Net can help further.
I am now waiting for the Gurus to join the discussion and bash me over the
head for suggesting something that may not be ideal or workable.
Best wishes,
Roy
