Multiple files selected and right-clic action

[Patrice Reich]

Hello,
I am not at all a coder, but I have made this small script to convert midifiles to mp3 :

 #!/bin/sh
function synthesize ()
{
SOURCE="$1"
PARAMETRES="-ab 160k -ac 2 -ar 44100"
WAVE="$1.wav"
DESTINATION="${SOURCE%%.*}"
timidity "$SOURCE" -Ow -o "$WAVE"
ffmpeg -i "$WAVE" $PARAMETRES "$DESTINATION".mp3
rm "$WAVE"
}
case $@ in
*.mid|*.kar|*.midi|*.rmi)
while [ "$1" ] ; do
echo "synthesize"
synthesize "$1"
shift
done
exit 0
;;
*)
echo "Usage: midi2mp3 [nom du fichier ou *.* pour convertir tout le répertoire]. Extensions acceptées : .mid .midi .rmi .kar"
exit 0
;;
esac

Unfortunately, it doesn't works when using it in Tux Commander (with a right-click actions defined in filetypes).

However, I can convert midifiles one by one in Tux Commander by using this script :

 #!/bin/sh
SOURCE="$*"
PARAMETRES="-ab 160k -ac 2 -ar 44100"
WAVE="$*.wav"
DESTINATION=`basename "$SOURCE" .mid`
timidity "$SOURCE" -Ow -o "$WAVE"
ffmpeg -i "$WAVE" $PARAMETRES "$DESTINATION".mp3
rm "$WAVE"
exit 0

I didn't manage to get several files as input for the right-click actions.

Is that normal ?

Best regards, Patrice Reich

Sending multiple selected files as a commandline argument is not supported yet, feel free to send a patch. All actions work only on currently focused file, no matter whether is selected or not.
