I have a FreeNAS server hosting all of my images. The original images are high resolution. What I would like to do is 2 parts:
1. do a batch resize of all of the images so I have web-friendly version and print ready version
2. run a cron job to apply the bash to any "new" files
First I want to tackle the bash script. As far as I can tell, these are the things that I must take into account:
1. I have a directory structure that I want to duplicate and maintain
2. I want to keep the originals
3. I want a duplicate that is web-friendly
4. Original dir is "./pictures"
5. New dir is "./resized"
6. Script will live in the "/pictures" dir
7. Identify new images
I think that is it!
I know how to copy the structure but I don't think that Imagemagick will check recursively by itself. That is where I am stuck.
I'm relatively new to bash, but here is what I have so far:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# find all directories, copy structure
find . -type d | cpio -pvdm ../resized
# creates the new image, move to new dir
for f in *.jpg;
do
echo "Processing $f"
convert -resize "50%" \
$f ./resized/$f
done
The copy of the image "$f ./resized/$f" will just be dumped into the root of "/resized". So I am stuck there too.
I'm also wondering about the logic for the next step of checking for new images, then running the convert part on that. Is there a command that will compare the dir and identify the new files?

xcursorgen
XCURSORGEN(1) General Commands Manual XCURSORGEN(1)NAME
xcursorgen - create an X cursor file from a collection of PNG images
SYNOPSIS
xcursorgen [ -V ] [ --version ] [ -? ] [ --help ] [ -p dir ] [ --prefix dir ] [ config-file [ output-file ] ]
DESCRIPTION
Xcursorgen reads the config-file to find the list of cursor images along with their hotspot and nominal size information. Xcursorgen con-
verts all of the images to Xcursor format and writes them to the output-file.
Each line in the config file is of the form:
<size> <xhot> <yhot> <filename> <ms-delay>
Multiple images with the same <size> are used to create animated cursors, the <ms-delay> value on each line indicates how long each image
should be displayed before switching to the next. <ms-delay> can be elided for static cursors.
If config-file is not specified, or is specified as "-", standard input is used for the configuration file. If output-file is not speci-
fied, or is specified as "-", standard output is used for the output file.
OPTIONS -V, --version
Display the version number and exit.
-?, --help
Display the usage message and exit.
-p dir, --prefix dir
Find cursor images in the directory specified by dir. If not specified, the current directory is used.
