Hi,
i use this command line to convert multi image pdfs into single files:
Code: Select all
convert -density 300x300 -units pixelsperinch input -background white -alpha background -alpha off -antialias -compress zip +adjoin output.tiff
then i tried to add some information into the output filename as i could read here:
viewtopic.php?t=17149. i tried this command line:
Code: Select all
convert -density 300x300 -units pixelsperinch input -background white -alpha background -alpha offantialias -compress zip -set filename:mysize '%wx%h' +adjoin output_%[filename:mysize].tif
convert only writes the first side as a image. the output filename is correct: new_2250x4000.tif
what is wrong with the second command? why only the first image is written to a image?

I suspect they are all being written, but they have the same size, so they have the same name. Your filename overrides the default numbering mechanism.

yes, its right.
but normally when i use normal output convert creates numbers after the filename, like output1.tif output2.tif. this doesn't work when i use the output with image size in the file name. when i try this
Code: Select all
convert -density 300x300 -units pixelsperinch input.pdf -background white -alpha background -alpha off -antialias -compress zip -set filename:mysize '%wx%h' +adjoin new_%[filename:mysize]_%02d.tif
i have 1 output file and the name is 'new_2250x4000_%02d.tif.tif'. when i try this
Code: Select all
convert -density 300x300 -units pixelsperinch input.pdf -background white -alpha background -alpha off -antialias -compress zip -set filename:mysize '%wx%h' +adjoin new_%02d_%[filename:mysize].tif
i have one image for every side and the output name are new_00_%[2250x4000.tif and new_01_%[2250x4000.tif.
what is the right way to output the images with the image size in the name AND with correct numbering?

I would use %s in the "-set filename", so you can have it wherever you want, eg:
Code: Select all
-set filename:mysize '%wx%h_%s'
-set filename:mysize '%s_%wx%h'

Please always provide your IM version and platform/OS when asking questions.
I do not believe you can use more than one % in your output file name. But you can get the scene number from %s. So this works.
Code: Select all
convert -density 150 test.pdf -set filename:mysize '%s_%wx%h' -compress zip +adjoin new_%[filename:mysize].tif
Produces:
Code: Select all
new_0_533x533.tif
new_1_552x694.tif
new_2_833x623.tif
I think it would need a new -define to be created to tell IM that scene numbers should have leading zeros or a new string format.
Also I note that when I add -scene 1 to the command line, it did not shift the numbers to start with 1.

i use version 6.8.9.9 on ubuntu 16.04.

what do you mean? i read the command line options but didn't understand ow i can do this with -define.

The define does not exist, yet. I was suggesting that a new one would be needed to do what you want, i.e. an enhancement to imagemagick.

You cannot, unless you can code for ImageMagick. You need to request and enhancement for such. See my the bottom of my bug report at
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=33455. You can make a formal request for such an enhancement on the Developers forum.
