Dear Cootbb,
As I am a crystallographer and not a programmer, could anyone suggest a
bash script that will go through my hard drive deleting all the pesky
"coot-backup" directories with their horribly long file names that
zipping software cannot cope with? Also, in a future version of coot,
would it be possible to change the names of the coot-backup files to
something simpler e.g. just date and time (for instance something like
240409-1650.pdb)?
Not answering your question, but may be of some use:
Coot looks at the COOT_BACKUP_DIR environment variable. You can set it
to ~/junk/coot-backup for example and all backups will be made to there.
Then you have only one directory to worry about.
There are no plans for short backup file names. I don't know that gzip
has any problems with coot backup file names.
