rm -rf ~/tmp/test/; mkdir ~/tmp/test/; cp %u ~/tmp/test/; find ~/tmp/test/ -type f -name *.qcp |while read line;do ~/tarballs/pure_voice_conv/pvconv "${line}" && rm -f "${line}" && echo "\"${line}\""|sed 's/\.qcp/\.wav/i'|xargs play;done

The first two commands get executed but my attempt to use %u, apparently, is not working:

[rolf@localhost ~]$ ll tmp/test/total 0[rolf@localhost ~]$ ll tmp/ | grep testdrwxr-xr-x 2 rolf rolf 48 2008-05-10 09:32 test/[rolf@localhost ~]$ ll tmp/test/total 0[rolf@localhost ~]$ ll tmp/ | grep testdrwxr-xr-x 2 rolf rolf 48 2008-05-11 07:50 test/
The two listings were done just before and just after clicking on the .qcp file in konqueror.

I've used your command that works for me in a modified fashion that, in my imagination, can be further developed to be called when a .qcp file is clicked in seamonkey or konqueror. Both use %u for this sort of thing and there is an exec statement documented for konqueror, so I'm going to try along those lines after work.

I was thinking calling the conversion executable and piping stdout (?) to play would do the trick but not so much.

Thanks.

Let me recap and see if I've understood your request, you wish to unpack a `.qcq' file and have `play' play the unpacked .wav file.

There are several ways to tackle this but first I might ask a question on what additional data `pvconv' might provide when executed.

Please post the output of the following

pvconv '-?'play '-?'
I have `play' on my machine but I'd rather see what version you're using.

If `pvconv' can't tell us what file it created, we'll need to take a different tack (create a temporary subdirectory, unpack there, look for any .wav file and play it).

Please let me know.

Cheers,

It makes a .wav that plays nice and clear. My dream is to create a one-line or script, even, that I'll try to have the browser (Seamonkey) call when such a .qcp file is encountered. I've tried various combinations but cannot get it to go. A short sampling:
