alrighty, thx thpar/napoc, that already shed some light in the darkness .... but now I'll raise the stacks: how can i use the -C option to tar all files from a certain dir? because apparently it only works when using full file names (does not accept *.png) L. Thomas Van Parys wrote:

does anyone know how to use the -C option in 'tar'
thx, L.
example from the man page: tar -xjf foo.tar.bz2 -C bar/
this will extract (x) and unbzip (j) the file (f) foo.tar.bz2 into the directory (C) bar/
cheers, T.
