Christiaan,
No, it does matter. I'm guessing you didn't actually try running it using .
as the input. The find command I proposed to replace is called when the
input is a directory (after `if [ -d "$1" ]; then`). You should know what
happens with the find command, you wrote it. :) (i.e., if the input ($1) is
a directory, find all the PDFs in $1, then rerun the script ($0) with the
PDF names.)
I tried running with . as the input (also, I had to put double quotes around
$parentFolderExt in `if [ $parentFolderExt != "pdfd" ]; then`, otherwise I
would get the error "line 19: [: !=: unary operator expected"). Here's the
output:
$ cd ~/Desktop/test\ conv\ bundle/
$ conv_pdf_w_notes_to_pdfds_03.sh .
./first.pdf
180:245: execution error: Finder got an error: Can’t make file
"MacintoshHD:Users:<user>:Desktop:test conv bundle:first.pdfd" into type
file. (-1700)
./subdir 1/second.pdf
200:265: execution error: Finder got an error: Can’t make file
"MacintoshHD:Users:<user>:Desktop:test conv bundle:subdir 1:second.pdfd"
into type file. (-1700)
./subdir 1/subdir 2/third.pdf
216:281: execution error: Finder got an error: Can’t make file
"MacintoshHD:Users:<user>:Desktop:test conv bundle:subdir 1:subdir
2:third.pdfd" into type file. (-1700)
It runs `skimnotes convert` fine and pdfds are produced, but it errors in
the osascript section. When I `echo $file` before the final if statement
begins, this is the output:
/Users/<user>/Desktop/test conv bundle/./first.pdf
/Users/matt/Desktop/test conv bundle/./subdir 1/second.pdf
/Users/matt/Desktop/test conv bundle/./subdir 1/subdir 2/third.pdf
I guess osascript doesn't like the /./ in there. Thus, the comments, label,
and modification date don't get transferred.
When I run it with my replacement of . with $PWD, things run as they should:
$ conv_pdf_w_notes_to_pdfds_03.sh .
/Users/<user>/Desktop/test conv bundle/first.pdf
/Users/<user>/Desktop/test conv bundle/subdir 1/second.pdf
/Users/<user>/Desktop/test conv bundle/subdir 1/subdir 2/third.pdf

Simplify data backup and recovery for your virtual environment with vRanger.
Installation's a snap, and flexible recovery options mean your data is safe,
secure and there when you need it. Data protection magic?
