If you called it from a desktop icon, it should meet the "wife and even quite young kids" standard - with absolutely no disrespect intended to your wife and/or kids! And I am quite sure several people will point out how to simplify the script. #!/bin/sh mount /flash find /flash/dcim -name "*.jpg" >/tmp/photos.txt x1=`cat /tmp/photos.txt` for f in $x1 do cp $x1 ~/pics/Raw/ done cd ~/pics/Raw chown mike * chmod -x * umount /flash
