Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

Hello all,

Very new Imagemagick user, first post. Im still learning my way through the program and all of its various functions.

I have quite a few DVD's with THOUSANDS of files on them that I will be manipulating with ImageMagick in one form or another. The format is Cat. 4 TIFF (standard tags, nothing proprietary). The files are mix bag multi and single page TIFF's.

The first step that I need to accomplish is to identify all of the multipage TIFF's. I cant differentiate them by file size or name unfortunately.

Whats my best option within Imagemagick?

Many thanks! Im looking forward to spending more time here in the forum

To identify multi-page TIFF images, try this command:

• identify -format "%f: %n" *.tif

Any line with a page count greater than 1 is multi-page.

magick,
Thanks for the quick reply! I will be running some of these images tomorrow. They are tiff images, but part of the reason I have to go through them all is the program that generated them gave them incorrect file names, including a file extension ".001". Will I encounter a problem as a result of that and if so what can I do about it
