mogrify tries to convert subdirectories?

[snibgo]

On Windows 7, IM 6.6.2-4 Q16.

Code: Select all

md xyxxy
md xyz
mogrify -path xyz tom.jpg

(Works no problem.)

Code: Select all

mogrify -path xyz t*.jpg
mogrify: unable to open image `xyxxy\': No such file or directory @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2491.
mogrify: no decode delegate for this image format `xyxxy\' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/532.
mogrify: unable to open image `xyz\': No such file or directory @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2491.
mogrify: no decode delegate for this image format `xyz\' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/532.

The conversion of all files named t*.jpg completes succesfully, then mogrify fails with errors.

The problem also occurs for PNG files (maybe for all types, but untested).

The problem doesn't occur with IM 6.6.1-1 Q8 or 6.6.0-8 Q16.

We'll have a fix for the problem you reported within a day or two. Thanks.

[snibgo]

Thanks for the usual very swift response.

Curious. We cannot reproduce the problem with Windows NT or Windows Server 2003. We'll try it under Windows 7 in a day or two.

This happens on Windows XP, too. (Currently with IM v6.6.2-7 Q16.)
For example, if I'm trying to load (non-existent) files - with IM v6.5.8-5, it's ok (there were subdirectories):

Code: Select all

identify *.foo
identify: unable to open image `*.foo': Invalid argument @ blob.c/OpenBlob/2480.

With IM v6.6.2-7 (without subdirectories) - ok:

Code: Select all

identify *.foo
Magick: unable to open image `*.foo': Invalid argument @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2498.
Magick: no decode delegate for this image format `*.foo' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/532.

With IM v6.6.2-7 (now with subdirectories):

Code: Select all

identify *.foo
Magick: unable to open image `temp1\': No such file or directory @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2498.
Magick: no decode delegate for this image format `temp1\' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/532.
Magick: unable to open image `temp2\': No such file or directory @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2498.
Magick: no decode delegate for this image format `temp2\' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/532.

We can reproduce this problem and will have a patch within a day or two. Thanks.

Yep, fixed in v6.6.2-8. Thanks from me, too!

Hi, I found this thread via google for imagemagick mogrify subfolders, I was wondering could anyone tell us what you would type into Windows command prompt to make mogrify convert all BMPs (from FRAPS captures taken in realtime, I use BMP so it doesn't lag the games like compressing to PNG does) to PNGs in subfolders?

Basically I want to mogrify all the BMP files in C:\Captures\ and all the files inside it and all the files inside the subfolders / subdirectories inside it - I know to do this with just the files in one folder is mogrify -format png *.bmp but that ignores all the stuff in the folders beneath

After googling a bit I tried making a .BAT batch file in Notepad of for %%a in (*.bmp) do convert -format png "%%a" but that doesn't seem to work at all, and I don't really know how to program the stuff myself

Any help would be great (and probably useful for all the other people googling trying to work out how to make it convert stuff in subfolders too! I was surprised on the mogrify help page that there was no argument for subfolders built into it already, really! )

I am not a Windows user, but I do not believe that IM 6 mogrify (windows or unix) will traverse subfolders. The only way to do that is to write a script and in your case that would be a bat file.

I am not sure what is in store for IM 7 (in alpha development).

You might take a look at http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/windows/ to see if there are any hints there.
