  • Since you have just two `-img` folders, it's probably simplest to maually see which is newer and set `GLOBIGNORE` to that directory's name. – muru Jan 27 '18 at 11:13
  • I don't see how GLOBIGNORE can work as those -img directories will have different names because of the dates in the file name. – fixit7 Jan 27 '18 at 16:45
  • If they didn't have different names they'd be the same directory, I'd suppose. – muru Jan 27 '18 at 16:55
