Dynamically naming converted gif frames

[dv2700]

I did a cursory search to try to obtain a solution to my problem, and I have a few attempts at the issue if I need to gather and post them.

I'm trying to rename the individual .jpgs of a converted gif ["convert earth.gif earth.jpg"] and add into the new filenames the tickcount of following each frame. I was able to get the tickcounts via

Code: Select all

identify  -format %T earth.gif

but I'm unsure how to couple this with the conversion directly, outside of scripting after both commands are completed separately. My endgoal is to use the saved files for further scripting with Autohotkey, and it would be excessively easy to just read the tickcount out of the filename itself (e.g. earth0.jpg_10, earth1.jpg_10, etc)

I apologize if this is a question that's already been answered or documented (and probably much more politely). Point me in the direction and gimme a kick!
Thanks

Code: Select all

convert image.gif   image_%03.jpg

this will add a 3 digit number for each frame found in the GIF file.
