Linux User with question

[Michael Hopcroft]

Actually two questions.

I recently "upgraded" (my Windows died and I needed an operating system I could afford) to Red Hat Linux 9. That probably means I have to buy Hero Designer again. There is a Linux edition IIRC, and I have a couple of questions about it.

1. Are .chr files from the Windows version compatible with the Linux version?

2. What is the proper way in Linux to move all the files of a specific extenstion into its own folder? It seems like it would make sense to have all my Hero documents separate from my other documents and all together.

A private reply would be just fine, but I'm sure there are other people new to Linux who would like to know about HeroDesigner for Linux.

1. Yes, absolutely. That's part of the reason I chose the file format (XML) that I did - cross-platform compatibility.

2. I'm certainly no Linux expert, but I believe "cp -r *.chr ./HDCharacters" should do what you want.

Replace *.chr with whatever file extension that you want (and whatever path to the topmost directory that you want) and replace "./HDCharacters" with the path to the storage directory that you want (the directory should exist before running the cp command).

There's likely much better ways to do it, but I believe that the above should work.....
