    I love the concept, but the script seems to be a bit broken?

    It seems to be hardcoded to use $HOME/git/magic-tape/ as the directory it runs from, which isn’t going to be true for most people. You can use basename -- "$0" to get the directory the script is running from.

      I have updated the script:

      UPDATE: The directory structure of the program has been updated. Instead of keeping everything in ~git/magic-tape/, now various files and directories are kept in various places.

      This way,

      • the magic-tape.sh is in ~/.local/bin/
      • the magic-tape cache files are all in ~/.cache/magic-tape/
      • the configuration text file will be created in ~/.config/magic-tape/

      The script now runs from any dir by:

      
$ magic-tape.sh

      Nice & clean
