LinuxQuestions.org - Entries for September 2015

Just annotations of little "how to's", so I know I can find how to do something I've already done when I need to do it again, in case I don't remember anymore, which is not unlikely. Hopefully they can be useful to others, but I can't guarantee that it will work, or that it won't even make things worse.

☻☻☻ Pipeing youtube-dl output to a given player (and having it as a mini-script)

Code:

youtube-dl -f ${2:-5} $1 -q -o - | mpv -

I've actually came up with bash-script approximations to the functionality of auto-renaming the moved files when the target directory has files with the same file names, but I've only made something that just does that by default, whereas KDE can do that but also allows one to compare and rename,...

The copy to clipboard editor can be just xclip! (Therefore one of my first statements in the first version of this post is probably false, and possibly was wrong even then).

Code:

xclip -selection c -t image/jpg < "%f"
