[cuongvt]

no man... I meant that whenever convert.exe finishes converting the file, it will output (echo) to the cmd the path of the file or something to let me know it succeeded

add -monitor to your command line

Hey, thanks for the tip.. but -identify/-write info: are giving me the info for the source file, I would like the convert to print info about the target file after it has converted it... and if it fails it won't print anything/something else, the same as the vb.net com dll does...

any ideas?

You could try piping the output

convert inputimage argument -write outputimage miff:- | identify -verbose -

outputimage and miff:- will be the same data. outputimage will be written to disk and miff:- will be piped to identify

Try adding -verbose

Code: Select all

convert rose: -verbose /tmp/r

rose:=> PNM 70x46 70x46+0+0 8-bit DirectClass 9.45kb
rose:=>/tmp/r ROSE 70x46 70x46+0+0 8-bit DirectClass 60.7kb

That last line of output give the output filename.

ASIDE: As I never specified a suffix or other format hint, IM chose to use the input format for the built-in image. C coding for a PNM image memory blob. A little strange I thought.

Perhaps the -verbose report for image output can be improved with the actual output coder format information?
