Put -print and -print0 last in a unix command find expression
I had treated "-print0" as just another flag to the find command. It is not: In fact when find encounters a "-print" or "-print0" command it prints right then and there, and any flags coming thereafter are ignored (unless another -print or print0 command follows them).
I first tested like this:
find -print0 -name "*.mp3" |xargs -0 tag-command --flags
But that is wrong! The -name flag is completely ignored
This is the way it should be:
find -name "*.mp3" -print0|xargs -0 tag-command --flags
Thanks to jax for pointing this out.
This actually works:
find -print0 -name "*.mp3" -print0|xargs -0 tag-command --flags
If you for some crazy reason would like to pass all files to the tag-command, but pass mp3 files twice...
