Linux Bash: Little start script for my pc here
I wrote a little script for moving and deleting files in the download folder
The RSS files are for the RSS. Sometimes you click on the RSS feed icon and on some website the file extension will download, and it will not open the .xml website where you copy the URL into your RSS feed program.
In my settings, I’m aware of doing it, that the PDF files will be downloaded onto my pc. I don’t want to see it in the browser.
For my work here at the pc, I need the mouse pad editor (because gedit does not have a zoom options) and my Firefox browser.
