Working through Pine’s Programming book and got this error (complete at
bottom):
Cross-device link -…(Errno::EXDEV)
Trying to read photos from a memory card to hard drive and rename them.
Someone posted the same error on the book’s errata page and I didn’t
see a response so though I better look elsewhere
gscar-computer:~ gscar$ ruby “/Users/gscar/Documents/Ruby/Pine-Learning
to Script/RenamingYourPhotos\302\24711.5.y.rb”
What would you like to call this batch?
Testing

Thanks for any help
