Dear all,
I am about to convert a number of files which are all in C:\temp\bildbearbeitung
“test1”, “test2” …..

C:
cd \temp\bildbearbeitung
C:\Programme\ImageMagick-7.0.6-Q16\magick mogrify -path C:\temp\bildgroesse -resize 16% -compress LZW *.tif

I resize, compress and save them in another directory C:\temp\bildgroesse. It works well thanks to fmw42 and snibgo.

Now I want to change the name of the output file from “test1” to “test 1_org”, “test2” to “test2_org” and so on.

I tried in vain
C:
cd \temp\bildbearbeitung
C:\Programme\ImageMagick-7.0.6-Q16\magick mogrify -path C:\temp\bildgroesse -resize 16% -compress LZW -set filename:f %t_org %[filename:f].tif *.tif

I got the message: mogrify: unable to open image '%[filename:f].tif': No such file or directory @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/3109.

Is it correct that mogify can not set filenames?
So I tried the convert command

cd \temp\bildbearbeitung
C:\Programme\ImageMagick-7.0.6-Q16\magick mogrify -path C:\temp\bildgroesse -resize 16% -compress LZW *.tif
cd \temp\bildgroesse
C:\Programme\ImageMagick-7.0.6-Q16\magick convert *.tif -compress LZW -set filename:f %t_org %[filename:f].tif

it works but only for the first file and blows it up (from 0.8 MB to 8 MB). By the way there is the same result for "filename:t %t_org %[filename:t]" and "filename:f %f_org %[filename:f]",

Am I right that mogrify can not use “set file name”? Why is the command line with the “convert -set filename” only working for the first file?
How to delete the old files “test1”, “test2” ….?

Thanks for your help
Uli

Mogrify cannot change filenames.

"convert" works differently to "mogify". This command would read all your *.tif files, and write them into a single output tif file.

Thank you,
now I know why the one file is so big.
But what I should write instead and how to delete the files with the old name?

Thanks
Uli

Dear All,
at the end I managed to solve the problem.

Thanks
Uli

Could you tell us what the problem was and how you solved it? That could help others later on.
