Combine/Stack image files

[snibgo]

If you have spaces in your directory or filenames, you should quote the second %D, eg:

Code: Select all

for /R \mydir\images %D in (*.jpg) do identify "%D"

If that doesn't help, please copy and paste the exact command and error message here. Also, what version of IM are you running? "convert -version".

Oh yeah using the quote worked perfectly.

Version: ImageMagick 6.8.8-7 Q16 x64 2014-02-13
Features: DPC Modules OpenMP

How do I -append all the images though?

[snibgo]

I don't know exactly what you are trying to do, or what is giving you problems. Perhaps you want something like:

Code: Select all

for /R . %D in (1.*) do (cd %~dpD & %IM%convert *.jpg -append x.png)

If you need help with Windows commands, I suggest you find a suitable forum.

All I'm trying to do is -append images together.

To be very specific I have a directory with a few hundred other directories (2014-03-09 00-52-11, 2014-03-09 00-53-31, etc).
Every one of these sub-directories have different images inside them named "image.jpeg, image_001.jpeg, image_002.jpeg and image_003.jpeg".
I want an appended image to be produced for each set of images in each folder so that by the end each folder will have an appended .jpeg.
I already know how to do it with one folder at a time (using the simple convert -append command).

I did say I was new to this and I've tried to many times but with no success.

I tried that code in a few different ways but I'm not sure if I'm applying it wrong or it isn't what I'm looking for.

The command could be something like:

Code: Select all

for /R \your\root\directory %D in (image.*) do (cd %~dpD & %IM%convert image.jpeg image_001.jpeg image_002.jpeg image_003.jpeg -append appended.jpeg)

For new users who want to do scripting in Windows bat files, I found a few referenced that might provide useful for learning.

The code above just asks "More?"

Can you test it?

[snibgo]

I did. The command I gave, pasted into a command window, works for me (with a different directory name).

[Axelotl]

Gah this is frustrating.

Here's a screenshot:

Bottom right is the command I used, left if the result and the rest are the directories and images.

What am I doing wrong?

[snibgo]

As you can see, you are not even running convert.

%IM% is the drive\directory of convert.exe. Most users choose the option at installation to put this in their system path. I don't because I need to run different versions of IM for different purposes. I should remove "%IM%" from code I put here, but I often forget. If you don't have %IM% defined, then keeping it in is harmless.

Try the following command:

Code: Select all

convert logo: x.jpeg

If this fails, then anything more complex will also fail, and I suggest you reinstall IM choosing to put the location in your system path.

No way it finally worked! Thank you so much for sticking around for this long haha.

The exact code I ran was:

Code: Select all

for /R %D in (*.*) do (cd %~dpD & convert image.jpeg image_001.jpeg image_002.jpeg image_003.jpeg -append appended.jpeg

Relief.
