    Re No more Maximise/Minimise Windo Buttons?

    Thank for the advice. Regards.

    I don't know! It's all got so confusing, that stuff. If I have installed Gnome 3, is there a simple way of getting back to something sane?

    mv -t "./NewDirectory" "$file"
    done <...
  7. Re: Bash one-liner to identify and move images of certain size

    I've now tried that but it's not doing the job. The identify command outputs not just the file name but a long string of other information, so it's not suitable for feeding raw into the do loop.

    No, I am not using any tweaks.

    Just joined the Compiz broke my Unity club. It's kinda frustrating that major manglings like this are allowed to exist in a release. It's the sort of thing that gets Linux a bad name.
