Nope. It is not about bibliography. I have calibre for that.
It is about tagging the old PDFs I have not tagged.

I find it amazing none has use for such functions. Anyway, tired of

How does one move lots of files from one folder to another and IF $Name.$Ext

The key is the boot time parameter idle=halt. The sound seems to be a problem

Most probably it is a stupid thing, but can't it chain somehow? Let the drive

I just tried the SeaBIOS with the Gluglug X60 docked. Serial means not access

particular input based on that output?
Problem solved thanks to Mr. Rowe. I'll be back with more details.
I'm moving some backup data to Gluglug X60.
I have one torrent with lots of small files. Some, most are already part
downloaded by uTorrent. Having Trisquel, I'd use a libre client even if they
are big, slow and ugly. But I have to change all '.!ut' appended to '.part'.
How do I do that?
For the torrent issue, you can remove the '.!ut'; add the torrent to your
torrent client, setting the new path and let him do a filecheck of the
torrent.
Remove. Cool. Meaning batch rename. Thank you Einstein!
Why would you want to put all you're backups in the same directory ?

The smallest, fastest and most beautiful clients are libre. You don't even
