[SOLVED] Combining explicit format + filename globbing...

[wildbug]

This works:

Code: Select all

$ convert -depth 8 -size 29792x128 'rgb:~18068-rot-01-000[3-8].tmp.raw' -append show:

This does not:

Code: Select all

$ convert -depth 8 -size 29792x128 'rgb:~18068-rot-01-%04d.tmp.raw[3-8]' -append show:
convert: no decode delegate for this image format `~18068-rot-01-0003.tmp.raw' @ constitute.c/ReadImage/526.
convert: no decode delegate for this image format `~18068-rot-01-0004.tmp.raw' @ constitute.c/ReadImage/526.

convert: missing an image filename `show:' @ convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/2766.

If it's not obvious from the above examples, I'm trying to open a series of images with a glob-type syntax (in a script). The second format is preferable since formats like [7-13] won't work correctly. (yields 0007-00013 instead of 0007-0013).

Can explicit format specification (i.e., rgb:filename) be combined with imagemagick's built-in globbing?

Nevermind. I was originally using raw RGB temp files since they could be concatenated into a whole file, but since I don't need to do that anymore, I switched to MPC temp files, and since that extention is recognized by IM, no explicit format specifier is necessary.

Also MIFF image file format can be just concatenated together, such as when streaming images from multiple commands into one command.
