Handling large number of images with kdenlive part 2

In my previous post i presented a bash script to move a bunch of files to diffent subdirectories.

I was faced with another problem. I had to wait until the end of the recording period to be able to use the script.

Here is a new version, which makes it possible to run the script at any moment.

#!/bin/bash
to_dir=$1
cd $to_dir
maxFilesInDir=980
subdir=0

function check {
   nFiles=`dir -1 | wc -l`
   if [[ $nFiles -lt $maxFilesInDir ]]; then
       exit
   fi
}

function createDir {
   while [ -d $subDir ]; do
     subdir=$((subdir+1))
     subDir="$to_dir/$subdir/"
   done
   mkdir -p "$to_dir/$subdir"
   idx=0
}

idx=$maxFilesInDir;
for i in *.jpg; do
   if [ "$idx" == $maxFilesInDir ] ; then
     check
     createDir
   fi
   cmd="mv $i $to_dir/$subdir/$i"
   $cmd
   idx=$(($idx+1))
done
