Hi,
is there any way using IM to seek out images that are corrupted, or truncated jpegs etc and tag or delete or at least skip them in batch processing as I have quite a few hidden in large directories,
Thanks

might be able to use identify if it gives you an error message.

what do you get returned with a corrupted image when you use

identify corruptedimage

or

identify -verbose corruptedimage

If you get some error message, you can write a shell script to test using identify and skip or delete the image.

Also look at the option -regard-warnings
See Im Examples Operational Controls
