Possible bug string format %d IM 6.9.3.7 Q16 Mac OSX

[fmw42]

Code: Select all

convert rose: -format "%d" info:

convert: unknown image property "%d" @ warning/property.c/InterpretImageProperties/3422.

see http://www.imagemagick.org/script/escape.php for %d as path to file

%d gives the directory component of the input file, as it appears on the command line or whatever. If there is no directory component, we get a warning.

Examples:

Code: Select all

f:\web\im>%IM%identify -format %d x.tiff
identify.exe: unknown image property "%d" @ warning/property.c/InterpretImageProperties/3420.

f:\web\im>%IM%identify -format %d ./x.tiff
.

f:\web\im>%IM%identify -format %d \web\im\x.tiff
\web\im

This is in v6.9.2-5. I don't see a bug.

I think it is a bug/mistake to say " unknown image property "%d".

Seems to me that it should not give that error message, but simply return an empty result. That is, since there was no formal directory in the filename, the directory is properly an empty string value.

Code: Select all

convert rose: rose.png
convert rose.png -format "%d" info:

convert: unknown image property "%d" @ warning/property.c/InterpretImageProperties/3422.


Whereas this works:

Code: Select all

convert /Users/fred/desktop/rose.png -format "%d" info:

/Users/fred/desktop

You don't want the warning message when there is no directory component? Yes, I see your point, and think it's fair enough.
