Consider to write human readable scripts ;).

Instead of something cryptic like

  printf "${PWD##*/}\n"

I would use

  basename $PWD

or

  basename $(pwd)

[rocketmouse at archlinux Desktop]$ echo $PWD
/home/rocketmouse/Desktop
[rocketmouse at archlinux Desktop]$ printf "${PWD##*/}\n"
Desktop
[rocketmouse at archlinux Desktop]$ pwd
/home/rocketmouse/Desktop
[rocketmouse at archlinux Desktop]$ dirname $(pwd)
/home/rocketmouse
[rocketmouse at archlinux Desktop]$ basename $(pwd)
Desktop
[rocketmouse at archlinux Desktop]$ dirname $PWD
/home/rocketmouse
[rocketmouse at archlinux Desktop]$ basename $PWD
Desktop
