Square brackets are glob characters in file names (they're a regex list indicator). Maybe try disabling file globbing? That disables all of the file expansion characters. "set -f" to turn off, "set +f" to turn back on. Mike On Sat, Jul 10, 2021 at 10:17 AM Dave wrote: > rdimport will successf

Well, the other side of the coin is that if you have two copies of the metadata, one in a MySQL database and the other in the file headers, then you need some mechanism to keep them synchronized. Otherwise you become the proverbial man with two watches who can never be sure what time it is.
