Thanks. I've got mogrify working, to whit;
mogrify -geometry 92x92 - < file.??? > file.???TM.gif
Now this works well enough, but when I try to;
mogrify -format gif -geometry 92x92 - < file.??? > file.???TM.gif
it freaks out, write's a file called something like gif:- and is generally
unsatisfactory. Anyone got better grammer than myself?
I was also wondering if I could use the -annitate to write "%wx%h"
on the thumbnail to give people an impression of file dimensions. This
doesn't work though, the biotch wants an X server ... I don't need an X
server, just "%wx%h" written on the output file. Am I going about this a;ll
wrong, or am I possibly meeting bugs in ImageMagick? :)
Thanks!
