You aren’t checking if the starting directory was aborted only the destination directory. Also you can shorten if - then - fi like this:
d1="$(zenity --file-selection --title="Bulk Move Choose starting directory" --directory)"
[[ "$?" != 0 ]] && exit
d2="$(zenity --file-selection --title="Bulk Move Choose destination directory" --directory)"
[[ "$?" != 0 ]] && exit
This gives double the amount of abort checking with 1 less line of code.
To test the progress bar on any system use this:
$ for i in ./* ; do echo $i ; sleep .1 ; done | zenity --pulsate --title "Processing " --text "${filename} " --pulsate --auto-close --auto-kill
--pulsate is not supported for this dialogue
Ah there is an error message! --progress is missing to tell zenity a progress bar is desired. So the working script would be:
d1="$(zenity --file-selection --title="Bulk Move Choose starting directory" \
--directory)"
[[ "$?" != 0 ]] && exit
d2="$(zenity --file-selection --title="Bulk Move Choose destination directory" \
--directory)"
[[ "$?" != 0 ]] && exit
for i in "$d1"/* ; do
## filter out the actual file name
filename=$(basename -- "$i")
## the meaty bit
ffmpeg -i "$i" -c:v libx265 -preset medium -x265-params crf=28 \
-c:a aac -strict experimental -b:a 128k "$d2"/"${filename%.*}.mkv"
done | zenity --progress --pulsate --title "Processing " \
--text "ffmpeg - convert files" \
--pulsate --auto-close --auto-kill
Passing ${filename} to --text option will not update display with each file name processed. If you want this you will need to switch to yad (Yet Another Dialog) which is a super-charged version of zenity:
Although the source code appears in the .gif you can copy and paste in your own script from this Q&A:
