File names with international characters is not getting recognized in Linux server
Hi,

I am using image Magick for resizing the images. Everything is working as long as the file names are in English.

But when the file names are in European accented fonts like
Code:
sólido_sitzbezüge_textil_in_design.jpg
stándard_gris_thorium_tallisé.jpg
NOIR_MÉTALLISÉ.jpg

the program is skipping the resizing. Looks like those files are not recognized in our server.
help
I do not know what settings needs to be changed at the server level to make it working (to recognize the European characters).

Please help.

Thanks in advance.

Are you running the image Magick resize from within a script or on the command line? If your using a script please try to resize an individual file from the command line.

It this still dosn't work please post the command you are using and any error messages or output that is displayed.

Hi Chubler XL,

Thanks. I am resizing the images within the script. Here is my code block.
Code:
for img_size in $(echo "$IMAGE_SIZES" | tr "," " ") ; do
                        test -e "dealer_images/$img_size/dealers/$cdealer_lower" || mkdir -p "dealer_images/$img_size/dealers/$cdealer_lower"
                        if test "$(jobs | grep convert | wc -l)" -ge "$RESIZE_CONCURRENCY" ; then

wait

                    fi

/bin/nice -n 19 /usr/bin/convert "dealer_images/thirdparty/dealers/$cdealer_lower/$image" -strip -geometry "$img_size" "dealer_images/$img_size/dealers/$cdealer_lower/$image" &

done

I am not getting any error. It is just skipping the resize because it is not identifying such file names with international characters.

Do I need to install any font or locale settings?

Please help me.

What is $image set to?

@RudiC

$image contains an image name. I am reading a file with image URLs assigning the image name (after downloading) to the variable called image.

Then resizing the $image within the loop.

/bin/nice -n 19 /usr/bin/convert "dealer_images/thirdparty/dealers/$cdealer_lower/$image" -strip -geometry "$img_size" "dealer_images/$img_size/dealers/$cdealer_lower/$image"

Thanks

Can you put a test in just before your image Magick call like this:

Code:
IMG="dealer_images/thirdparty/dealers/$cdealer_lower/$image"
[ -f "$IMG" ] && echo "Image file exists" || echo "Image $IMG file not found"

Just to confirm you have the correct path to the image file

Hi Chubler XL,


Thanks again .

Yes, I have already checked the availability of those images because I am downloading the images from a third party URL to the local server and then do the resizing.

Such European characters are shown properly in my Windows system but not on Linux server. They are shown with some junk characters whereever European characters are present in the image file name.
