DTerm and Fish shell, together

Tue, 31 Oct 2017 15:10:51 +0000

Fish shell does not seem to like to live within the DTerm terminal emulator. Sadly, DTerm seems in a state of abandon.

What I do now is to force bash as the shell used by DTerm. I do this by launching:

env SHELL=/bin/bash open /Applications/DTerm.app

Quick access to the last public url of a file in Dropbox

I got bored to search for the url after uploading a file to the Dropbox’s public folder. So I have hacked a quick shell script that takes the public url of the latest file you uploaded to your public Dropbox folder and copies it to the clipboard. I thought I could share:

#!/bin/sh
DROPBOX="$HOME/Dropbox" dropbox puburl "$DROPBOX/Public/\`ls -1 -t $DROPBOX/Public | head -n 1\`" | xclip

Now, on OS X I have a folder action which does the same thing automatically when a new file is uploaded. I will have to tinker with inotify and get it to work on Linux as well.
