donald's suggestion in post #3
My choice for now with 4 screenshots illustrating how it's done in post #4 (Screenshots starting with "And for the convenience of our forum visitors: 4 screenshots showing how easily that is set up (shot 1 & 2) and what it looks like in practice (shot 3 & 4)" part of that post)

I created a small script that should give me some info on a media file:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
VERSION="0.1"
MYNAME="ffprobe-hide_banner"
echo -e "$MYNAME V$VERSION"
ffprobe -hide_banner "$*"

But in XFCE, there is no window opening. All happens in an invisible background process.
And in XFCE, I see no option to start that command e.g. in uxterm.
Can that be set so it is possible to start certain commands (like the above) in uxterm? And how do I set that up in XFCE (V4.12)
If that is not possible, then I need to put the info from ffprobe into one of the script based window-creators (whatever you call these) like the info window activate or deactivate opens when started in the GUI.
Which would also be okay since it forces me to create something new, script-wise, and that is excellent mental training.
