A code / script to tell you which folder doesn't have the file cover.jpg

[chico]

searches will tell you in which folder this file exist and it will print you a list.

How do you do the opposite, a reverse  so i can put "cover.jpg" in all the folders that don't have one.

I've gotten as far as which file is not "cover.jpg" and it prints every file that isn't. I just want to know a list of which directory doesn't have the file "cover.jpg"

either in xp bat file or in the linux ubuntu terminal


thanks in advance

In Linux, the following will list directories under "/your_mp3_dir" that don't contain "cover.jpg"

Code: [Select]

find /your_mp3_dir -type d -exec test ! -f {}/cover.jpg \; -print

If you wanted to copy a file "standard_cover.jpg" into each

Code: [Select]

find /your_mp3_dir -type d -exec test ! -f {}/cover.jpg \; -exec cp -n standard_cover.jpg {}/cover.jpg \;

Or if you'd like to save some space (and all the files are on the same extN partition);

Code: [Select]

find /your_mp3_dir -type d -exec test ! -f {}/cover.jpg \; -exec ln standard_cover.jpg {}/cover.jpg \;
