I think you want your script to open up a separate window with a list of files in a

I didn't use the same directory since I don't have it. But I created some file in /tmp
starting with 2018. And I use this
form of the script.
#!/bin/bash
# SambaFiles
cd /tmp
xfce4-terminal -H -x ls -clr 2018* &
And created a launcher for that. Works fine.
Also, I think you meant to type "ls -clr" and not "ls -ctr"?
.
-c with -lt: sort by, and show, ctime (time of last modification
of file status information); with
-l: show ctime and sort by name; otherwise: sort by
ctime, newest first
-r, --reverse
reverse order while sorting
I often do "ll -ctr" to produce an ascending sort by time, get the most
recent at the bottom of a long list where I can see what I have just
downloaded ... There may be a more elegant way but it works for me, e.g.
digital audio book files that I have to put on a flash drive to use them.
Yes, the -H is used to hold the window open.
.
Now I have:
#!/bin/bash
# SambaFiles
cd /tmp
xfce4-terminal --maximize -H -x ls -ctr /mnt/box48/2018* &
And that works nicely.
When I tried to show my daughter the video clips the VLC gui refused to
work! I decided I needed a convenient way to use vlc despite that
problem. I suspect viewing the rtsp cameras leaves vlc in some condition
that I can't view the iPhone videos, I need to test that hypothesis.
Anyway this scheme works reliably. I can pick a file from the list it
produces and open it with vlc in a terminal. That in white text on black
which I prefer.
Thank you for the help,
