Remove duplicate iMovie files
I don't have an iMovie project at hand to test this with, but rather than futzing around with the project file, would linking (either soft or hard) the original file with the redundant file names achieve the same thing?
ie:
cd ~/Movies/MyGreatiMovie.imovieproject/Media
Note: Safari is a less-than-ideal syntax checker. Code above is not tested, just an example. It assumes the movie files don't have an extension suffix, which I thought they did (*.dv IIRC). I'm just working off the original hint. The script relocates the duplicated files into the "Movies" folder, so you can restore them easily if you find your iMovie borks on opening.The line that creates the link could be changed from a soft-link to a hard-link by removing the "-s" argument. I guess if you know what "ln" does, you know that too... cheers RET --- |
