I meant to say, "When I run the script in a crontab", I get the error -- not when I run it from a KDE console. I added to the bug report in Debian and filed a bug upstream at http://linuxbrit.co.uk/feh/ticket/29 I also found a workaround -- montage from imagemagick works from cron too: montage -tile 15 -geometry +1,+1 $FIL.img/$THUMBS/*.jpg $FIL.jpg Cheers, Dave -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
