Re: [Ranger-users] Shell script over multiple files

[Jan Knížek]

Hi,
alternatively, you can make a python script (from Arch Linux Wiki):
You can define python command:

import os
from ranger.core.loader import CommandLoader

class seemovie(Command):
    def execute(self):
        """ Compress marked files to current directory """
        cwd = self.fm.thisdir
        marked_files = cwd.get_selection()<br><br><br>Which will define 
seemovie command. In cwd.get_selection() you have selected files.<br>You can 
than run a shell script or do what you want in python.<br><br>knezi<br>

Thanks Hut,

                  Excellent hack. It works !!!

 I was expecting something like "mpvsubs.sh $1 $2" where 1 and 2 will be 
filenames selected, whose extensions will be sorted out inside the script 
and mpv playing over them from the same script.
Anyways above solution rocks.


Thanks again,

Mouli

"Hey there,

Can't think of an elegant way to do it, but you could type `yy` on the
subtitle, then navigating to the movie and running

    shell mpv %f --sub-file=%c

This "abuses" the copy buffer as a second file selector.

You could finish with a `uy` to clear the copy buffer to avoid
accidently copying the subtitle.  The whole command would then be:

    map X chain shell mpv %f --sub-file=%c; uncut
