BASH Script for Kazam
I like Kazam as a screencast recorder, but it insists on saving to ~/Videos rather than my chosen subdirectory. A small hashtag#bash script solves the problem:
Using a for loop iterate through the latest recordings and move each one into the desired subdirectory, with a suitably incremented basename.
#!/bin/bash
video_dir=~/Videos
kazam_dir="$video_dir/Kazam_Screencasts"
for VIDEO in $(ls ~/Videos/Kazam_screencast*.mp4)
do
number=$(basename $(ls $kazam_dir -v1 | tail -n 1) ".mp4" | grep -o '[0-9]\+')
new_number=$((10#$number + 1))
printf -v new_number "%05d" "$new_number"
new_basename="Kazam_screencast_$new_number.mp4"
mv $VIDEO "$kazam_dir/$new_basename"
done
