Re^2: thumbnails generator

I agree but I don't know much bash/shell scripting so I'm using what I know.
Also shell scripting is not very flexible.In particular,what you wrote there
in brackets "do whatever with $size here" will probably not be accomlished
very easily using shell scripting.

Actually, it is indeed accomplished very easily. The fact that it's so complicated in your script is a demonstration that you're coercing a square peg into a round hole. size=`/usr/bin/identify "$image"\|/usr/bin/cut -d' ' -f 3` /usr/bin/convert -geometry "$size" "$old_name" "$new_name" [download] -- Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe. -- HG Wells	[reply] [d/l]

Of course given a better shell you can do even more inline: `size=${=${$(identify "$image")}[3]}` [download] (And people say Perl is executable line noise . . . :) The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie.	[reply] [d/l]
