I have a natural passion for programming, especially to create practical software for everyday use. Ultimately I want to put my skills to use in the field of green energy or health, as I am very concerned about these areas and I believe that having great software could help a lot and make a big difference.

comment rename files maching specific mtime value within directory
Please pastebin your script! From the error message it looks like there is a syntax error in your script, trying to execute the command "5" which does not exist. The "5" could come from a variable, for example you get the same error message if you do something like this: a=5; $a hello there

comment xterm doesn't switch directory when it is moved
cd . will "sanitize" the situation in the first xterm. After this pwd will show the new path.

matter of taste? I personally like underscore separated, easier to read.

comment How to copy or move to folder in Nautilus 2.30.1 like in Windows Explorer?
This is a good question, I've been looking for this too. In Windows Explorer it is nice that you can right-click-drag to the destination and then choose between copy/move. Sure you can click on copy/cut and then paste at the destination, but that's a lot of clicking. I see an answer below says there is middle-click-drag in nautilus for the same effect, can't wait to try it.

comment How to remove error messages when searching recursively for a string?
A bit dumb but this would do the trick: find -type f -print0 2>/dev/null | xargs -0 -n 10 grep -i searchstring 2>/dev/null | grep -i searchstring
