EG: aspectRatio 1920 1200

For display a image in full screen it should be in any of the resolution obtained from the output. So resize an image to any of it and you can display it in full screen

For general aspect ratio :

aspectRatio () { for i in `seq 1 1000 `; do awk "BEGIN {print $1/$i, $2/$i}"; done |grep -v "\." |tail -1; }

You can use the -format switch to get the size of the image. Replace "logo:" with your image.

identify image.jpg |grep -o "[[:digit:]]*x[[:digit:]]*" |tail -1
find . -iname "*.jpg" -printf '<img src="%f" title="%f">\n' > gallery.html

- Backup data before reszie as it over write original

-To preserve aspect ratio remove !

wallpaperWarn() { BG="/desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename"; convert "`gconftool-2 -g $BG`" -pointsize 70 -draw "gravity center fill red text 0,-360 'Warn' fill white text 0,360 'Warn'" /tmp/w.jpg; gconftool-2 --set $BG -t string "/tmp/w.jpg"; }

Create transparent image to use as icon, watermark for other images, etc.

mogrify -modulate 100,100,70 ../../icons/32x32/*.png
/bin/ls *.png | xargs -l1 -I {} convert {} -modulate 100,100,70 ../../icons/32x32/{}

Given some images (jpg or other supported formats) in input, you obtain a single PDF file with an image for every page.

You can also specify width and height of the resized image (in pixels), as an alternative to using a percentage.

find . | perl -wne 'chomp; print qq|<img src="$_" title="$_" /><br />| if /\.(jpg|gif|png)$/;'> gallery.html

This includes a title attribute so you can see the file name by hovering over an image. Also will hoover up any image format - jpg, gif and png.

My take on the original: even though I like the other's use of -exec echo, sed just feels more natural. This should also be slightly easier to improve.

I expanded this into a script as an exercise, which took about 35 minutes (had to look up some docs): http://bitbucket.org/kniht/nonsense/src/7c1b46488dfc/commandlinefu/quick_image_gallery.py

find . -iname '*.jpg' -exec echo '<img src="{}">' \; > gallery.html

Setting: You have a lot of jpg files in a directory.

Maybe your public_html folder which is readable on the net because of Apache's mod_userdir. All those files from the current folder will be dropped into a file called gallery.html as image tags that can be viewed within a web browser locally or or over the Internet.

Original:

find . -iname "*.jpg" -exec echo "<img src=\"{}\">" >> gallery.html \;
lomount -diskimage /path/to/your/backup.img -partition 1 /mnt/foo

Instead of calculating the offset and providing an offset option to mount, let lomount do the job for you by just providing the partition number you would like to loop mount.

Finds all corrupted jpeg files in current directory and its subdirectories. Displays the error or warning found.

The jpeginfo is part of the jpeginfo package in debian.

Should you wish to only get corrupted filenames, use cut to extract them :

find ./ -name *jpg -exec jpeginfo -c {} \; | grep -E "WARNING|ERROR" | cut -d " " -f 1
for i in *jpg; do jpeginfo -c $i | grep -E "WARNING|ERROR" | cut -d " " -f 1 | xargs -I '{}' find /mnt/sourcerep -name {} -type f -print0 | xargs -0 -I '{}' cp -f {} ./ ; done

Find all corrupted jpeg in the current directory, find a file with the same name in a source directory hierarchy and copy it over the corrupted jpeg file.

Convenient to run on a large bunch of jpeg files copied from an unsure medium.

Needs the jpeginfo tool, found in the jpeginfo package (on debian at least).

INFILE=/path/to/your/backup.img; MOUNTPT=/mnt/foo; PARTITION=1; mount "$INFILE" "$MOUNTPT" -o loop,offset=$[ `/sbin/sfdisk -d "$INFILE" | grep "start=" | head -n $PARTITION | tail -n1 | sed 's/.*start=[ ]*//' | sed 's/,.*//'` * 512 ]
6

Suppose you made a backup of your hard disk with dd:

dd if=/dev/sda of=/mnt/disk/backup.img

This command enables you to mount a partition from inside this image, so you can access your files directly.

Substitute PARTITION=1 with the number of the partition you want to mount (returned from sfdisk -d yourfile.img).

This command requires the imagemagick libraries and will resize all files with the .jpg extension to a width of 1024 pixels and will keep the same proportions as the original image.
