How to delete empty subfolders

Suppose you have a folder with a lot of empty subfolders; in fact you don't know in which folder is the content you are looking for.

One way  is to use a gui application baobab or qdirstat
But even then creating order in the chaos will be a tedious job.
Go in terminal to the main folder and do
$find . -type d -empty -delete

Extract image from pdf file without quality loss to jpgs

Move in terminal to folder which contains the pdf file.

$pdfimages -j file.pdf page

This will leave you with .jpgs  for the image files 

and .pbm for the text pages.

Convert wit imagemagick installed the pbm files:

$convert *.pbm *.jpg

 

pkgcaccheclean replaces cachelean

Make room with pkgcacheclean in Arch

All installed packages will be cached in /var/cache/pacman/pkg
If you look in this cache you will be surprised to find as much as four or five versions of the same program.
If you want to make room than it is useful to purge the cache of too many versions of the same program with pkgcacheclean: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pkgcacheclean/
Do as root: #pkgcacheclean -v 
to actually do it.

Usage: pkgcacheclean [options] [number]

The default number is 2. That means, for all installed packages, the currently used version and the newest of the remaining cache is retained. All caches of not-installed packages are removed.
Currently, supported options only includes -v/--verbose, -q/--quiet, -n/--dry-run, -k/--all-as-installed.

how to connect to your tablet using mtp

This is clearly explained here.
First check this out: are following packages installed?
I had to install necessary packages need for file managers:
# pacman -S gvfs-mtp gvfs-gphoto2
Now start up your file manager with gvfs support for instance Thunar up to check if your Android device is mounted.

If you are not lucky, I will repeat what I have done to get it working;
Checked if my Asus memo tablet  was noticed:
$mtp-detect
Response:

Device 0 (VID=0b05 and PID=7773) is a Asus Fonepad 7 (FE375CXG).

and a lot of other lines. You also can use lsusb to check.

I choose to install jmtpfs via packer
$packer -S jmtpfs
Created a mtp folder in /home/paul/

In Openbox I created a new keybinding keybind key="W-m" in .config/openbox/rc.xml with this as command:
xterm -e "jmtpfs ~/mtp"
 So after creating that and restarting openbox with
$openbox --restart

I start up Thunar. I now see in /homepaul/mtp/ two folders  Internal Storage and SD Card and the files can be copied etc.
