Script

[gimpguy2000]

Hi all,

Been a while since I been on here asking how to install an application, now, I am beginning to write scripts but just started yesterday So, my question is this...

echo -n "what is your favorite color?: "
read guess
while [ "$guess" != "blue" ]; do
echo "No idiot!! You are worthless!! You are a waste of skin! "; read guess
echo "See? You are still a moron!" ; read guess
echo " You are dumb !!!" ; read guess
done


Ok, this works fine, however, how would I insert a command to open a picture in my home directory? Anyone know?

Thanks,

Paul

It depends on what windows manager (plus associated software) you have installed. On my Ubuntu Gnome system I do this,

gthumb picturename.jpg

Thanks. That's where I was getting confused. I just use default Gnome in Ubuntu so I will give it a try.

Ok I it almost works, however, it opens up the whole image viewer with all pics, not just one.

Cheers,

I still haven't found a way to just open a single pic in the image viewer, but haven't given up yet..
