Hi all,

I have installed inotify-tools, and now the watch sets up nicely, but the print and move are not working

andrewg@linux-ltv0:~> ./photobooth-hp
Setting up watches.
Watches established.
lpr: Error - unable to access "/home/andrewg/Pictures/Webcam/2016-06-15-223028.jpg.8QE9IY" - No such file or directory mv: cannot stat ‘/home/andrewg/Pictures/Webcam/2016-06-15-223028.jpg.8QE9IY’: No such file or directory

I don't know where the suffix after the .jpg is coming from, is that what is stopping the progress?

Here is the script

#! /bin/bash
inotifywait -m -e close_write ~/Pictures/Webcam --format "%w%f" | \
while read filename; do lpr -P Photosmart_C5200 "$filename"; mv "$filename" ~/Pictures/Webcam/printed; done

The print spool name is correct. Once the party is over I will play with Darktable and tethered shooting and specify a new Directory to watch. In theory the flash on the Eos should fire and give an outstanding result.

Many thanks

Andrew Greig
