I don't know what I am doing wrong, but I can't get anything but "no directory" errors and when I try and do the -h for ChapterTools it gives me the same thing:

-bash: Music/ChapterTool/Podcast: No such file or directory

Shawn-Stricklands-Computer:~ Shawn$ Music/ChapterTool/Podcast

-bash: Music/ChapterTool/Podcast: is a directory

Shawn-Stricklands-Computer:~ Shawn$ ./ChapterTool -x audioguide.xml -a audioguide.m4a -o eaudiofile.m4a

-bash: ./ChapterTool: No such file or directory

-bash: /ChapterTool: No such file or directory

Shawn-Stricklands-Computer:~ Shawn$

    I apologize for the lack of information, but I am not sure what I'm supposed to say. I have followed many directions both from Apple and also on the web. I think the problem is that when I save plain text as an XML file it will try and launch that file with an XML-type program called Property List Editor and it will take the file picture of a plain text file with it's scribbling on it and turn it into a plain white document picture. I think this is the problem I am encountering within Terminal.



    Here's an updated Terminal:

    Code:

    -bash: Music/ChapterTool/: is a directory

    Shawn-Stricklands-Computer:~ Shawn$ ./ChapterTool -x podcast.xml -a podcast.m4a -o podcast123005.m4a

    -bash: ./ChapterTool: No such file or directory

    Shawn-Stricklands-Computer:~ Shawn$









    Might I be doing something wrong in Terminal? Or can it be zeroed down in TextEdit?

    Tell me what you are trying to do and I will help.



    Your shell commands are a bit off if you are trying to open or execute something.

    Well, that's a great question, but I don't know how to execute them, because copying and pasting doesn't solve anything even the ./ChapterTool -h is useless complaing nop such directory exists... but it does, because I just navigated to it. I'd hate to be so useless, but please provide the exact commands I need because I have been seeming to screw everything else up.

    In my music folder, as the "About Chapter Tool" file suggests I put it.

    I'm so sorry, I didn't even realize I needed to change directories. Forgot that whole Unix thing. My apologies.

    It creates Enhanced Podcasts via the Terminal. Something Apple came out with shortly after the podcasting went off and people started doing enhanced podcasts. It marks the m4a file with links, titles, and "chapters" so that it is a little more organized.
