Minor linux bash tweek 0.33

[wseverin]

Comment applies to Ubuntu Linux 10.10. Other OS, other version YMMV.

The 'improved' bash script to launch xnview doesn't seem to work if it's run from anywhere but the working directory. Problem is the first line of code which just returns dirname "." and it really needs to be the absolute path. The fix is simple. Change

Code: Select all

dirname="$(dirname "$(readlink "$0")")"

to

Code: Select all

dirname="$(dirname "$(readlink -f "$0")")"

Note the "-f" to force a canonicalized name.

Right, it's better like that, thank for the hint.
