OT: Debian Help (Bash scripts), IRC is no help... Options

[bd1308]

okay, so i made a bash script:

for img in 'ls *.jpg'
do
convert -resize 800x600 $img resized-$img
done

per some directions from this site....

seemed easy enough....well it doesnt work.

the debian irc network people are no help at all...

i'm trying to resize some pictures...

LOL! Now that's entertainment. But the man makes a valid point. You bashin us on another forum?

Here's another tidbit. Get better at using google. I found a guy's script to do almost exactly what you asked for . It took me less than 60 seconds.

Read this page. Or search for convert in the text.

#!/bin/bash

for img in *.jpg;
do

export height=`identify -format %h $img`
export width=`identify -format %w $img`
let ratio=$width/$height

echo Image $img = [ $width x $height ] = $ratio

if [ $ratio == 0 ]
then
echo Portrait 0
convert $img -geometry 600x800! -format jpeg -quality 80 $img
else
echo Landscape 1
convert $img -geometry 800x600! -format jpeg -quality 80 $img
fi

done
