your technique works - i use a similar script to open movies in mplayer.
my question, though, is if you're sure that $ARGV[0] is the right one
for you. note how it says
> Arg: -caption "%c" %i %m
maybe the first argument is not the one you want. i would replace your
script with a bash script that prints all the arguments
#!/bin/bash
echo $@
and then test it and see if it's calling it with just the path, or with
extra stuff. the argument you want may very well be another one. i hope
this helps you out. good luck!
