Move files with zenity progress bar
I’m playing with a script that moves files between two directories and does that by piping two tar commands, so called Fast Copy.
You need zenity to see the progress bar, it is a work in progress as there are some bugs, eg when you click “cancel” the two tar child processes are not killed for some reason, I couldn’t get the correct exit code that probably gets lost somewhere.
Probably in the future I’ll write a better notification.Suggestions and modifications are wellcome.
