Perhaps you're right. I was too general in my initial query which made it very unclear. I want a script that allows commandline only applications that can't batch process to batch process. A speciifc example. I will use the app enfuse, an exposure merging program, a poor man's HDR. patrick@Debian9:~/Work$ enfuse --output ab01.jpg --compression=97 ab01/DSC*.jpg patrick@Debian9:~/Work$ enfuse --output ab02.jpg --compression=97 ab02/DSC*.jpg : : patrick@Debian9:~/Work$ enfuse --output ab26.jpg --compression=97 ab26/DSC*.jpg I use shell history to repeat the command for each directory, changing the --output filename and target directory numbers as necessary. Each diretory already holds the appropriate image files. Thanks B
