imageMagick recusive - for thumbnails

[sgtpepper]

This may not necessarily be php related...but you may be able to offer me a better php solution.

I am using the following .sh script:

for img in `ls -r /var/www/html/propimages/*.jpg`
do
  convert -sample 104x60 $img thumbs-$img
done

What I am trying to do, is use imagemagicks convert command to create thumbs from the propimages directory. I have several directories under propimages...and the images in these directories also need thumbs.

I added the -r flag thinking it would be recursive...but it doesnt work. How can I alter the above code to get what I am looking for...or can php do this more efficiently? If so, is there simple code already doing this that I can snag somewhere?

Thanks

Hi,

try this script (which will ignore thumbs because you don't want to create thumbs out of thumbs):

#!/bin/bash
SRC=/var/www/html/propimages
for f in find $SRC -name "*.jpg" -printf "%h/%f\n" |grep -v thumbs-; do
BASE=basename $f;
DIR=dirname $f;
echo converting $f
convert -sample 104x60 $f $DIR/thumbs-$BASE
done

It worked on my server (linux with a bash ... might need some tweaking if you don't have a bash)

Edit: I had a -maxdepth 1 in the script and removed it since you want to do that recursive ...

Well, it only converted the 1 photo that I have in the /var/www/html/propimages directory. I need to convert all photos that are in all directories under /var/www/html/propimages

Hi,

remove the -maxdepth 1 ... sorry for that ... I already corrected my script.

Did removing -maxdepth 1 resolve the problem ?
