Subject: [juneau-lug] Opening X apps in the background.
OK - remember my resizing script was inspired as a way to help me save time
putting images up on our (my family's, not the lug's) website. As a follow
on, I wrote a bash script to generate slideshow pages quickly & easily.
The process goes like this - get the digital images, resize them and name
them so they sort appropriately - image01.jpg, image02.jpg, etc., and then
place them in pwd/Resources, where pwd is a scratch directory. Run the
following, and slideshow type pages are quickly generated.
The script is below, and you can see some output by going to
http://zuelow.net - cringe at the "last updated" date on it, and then click
on Phoenie's page and see the photos of her birthday. These are not
Pulitzer prize winning photos, they're intended for Grandparents and other
relatives, all of which are between one and three thousand miles away. But
I digress...
Anyway, here's my problem. As the script runs, it opens xslideshow to view
the image and then reads a string in for the photo caption in the web page.
But when it does this, xslideshow gets the focus and I have to click on the
terminal window to enter the comment. I don't want to click, I just want to
type, press enter, and see the next photo.
Any clues as to how I can get xslideshow to open without taking the focus
away from my terminal window?
Cheers,
James
