I have a simple script to convert all jpegs in a folder into one pdf: Is it possible to rename the myfile.pdf to the folder name it sits in? So if the jpgs are in a folder called 'myFolder', the pdf will be myFolder.pdf

I have a lot of folders with images and don't want to manually retype the pdf filename.

Many thanks.

You would need to decide on the rules when in a nested folder, eg /mydir/mydir2/abc.pdf. What do you want the new name to be?

You might do this by setting a shell variable before the magick command, or renaming afterwards.
