I am usually more detailed, and, this time, didn't include all the necessary info. Apologies for my mistake.
This is being run by a script embedded in a [Desktop Entry] file attached to a Desktop icon.
The relevant line setting the time lapse recording is:
libcamera-still -t 15000 --timelapse 1000 --framestart 1 -o /home/time/TimeLapse/*****
The ***** has been tl%04.jpg or tl%04 or %04.jpg or %04
Resulting in single frame files named tl4.jpg or tl4 or 4.jpg or 4
I could write separate Python files like the one you referred to and trigger them from [Desktop Entry] files on the Desktop. I did things this way because, as I said, I'm a relative NooB, I'm not conversant with Python (although I am trying to learn), and because this seemed like a simpler and more "elegant" way of getting to where I wanted to be.
Very open to suggestion! And, I will be looking closer at the Python file.
Thanks!
