$ pwim anything
and,
$ pwim ice pick
To result in the location of such files as, "Excel Saga - anything.mpg" and "maison ikoku - The Pillows - ice pick.wmv". Such files would then be played back by the default player, MPlayer, or whichsoever you may choose, and then stored in the cache for quicker retrieval of frequently viewed material.
And so I thought of Pwim and four tries later, bash, tcl, bash(again), and finally python(my new love), I had something that I liked. So if you are lazy, word your files correctly(or not and suffer the exilerating excitement of getting something different), or just want a little more convenience in your life, choose PWIM, or not, and delete this file... NOW!
# ./install.sh
This will install pwim to /etc/pwim and create a synlink in /usr/bin.
Two options are available to you depending upon your graphical preference, command line edit, and graphical edit.
$ pwim -d DIRECTORY1 DIRECTORY2 DIRECTORYn
Or however many directories you require to fulfill your media needs.
Should you find later that you no longer wish to have a directory that you previously entered, issue the command:
$ pwim -r DIRECTORY1 DIRECTORY2 DIRECTORYn
To remove said directories from the list. Note: Although it is entitled "directories.txt" the file that controls this is not technically editable through manual means.
To view the current contents of the directories file issue the command:
$ pwim -c
$ pwim -gc
Many options can currently be accessed through the configurator, but the main reason for its existance remains easier editing of the directory file.
Once the directories have been added, and other options changed to suit taste, you are ready to use Pwim to the fullest extent of the law.
Note: A fun game is to type in some obscure word and see what pops up...
