yeah i do not know where that myth comes from. i always have either water or gatorade......hydration is what you are really fighting when you are hungover. but exhaustion is also part of it as well. i guess that is where the caffeine comes from.

I should be sleeping at the moment however it would seem that being wide awake at 2:30 in the morning is more important than getting sleep

On a good note I had a date night with the wife last night and it was quite fun. We went to dinner and then the movies. We saw The Hobbit in 3d and well all I can say is awesome. It was a great movie and a good experience to watch it in 3d. Its the first time I've seen a 3d movie in almost 30 years. (the last being Jaws 3d) it was an expensive night out but very much worth it in the end. We haven't had a date night in over a year so in that aspect it was very nice to just get away from our norm and enjoy each other. Sorry but I really didn't even think about the site until after the night out when I came in here briefly just to see what was going on and I must say not much at the time interested me.

breadnatty08 · January 5th, 2013, 05:43 AM

I really enjoy 3D, but the wife isn't really a fan (and like you said, EXPENSIVE!).
What I do like now, is seeing movies at the IMAX even if not in 3D. We saw TDKR at one of the Smithsonians (wait, it's a museum?

), and it was awesome!

Going to see Django Unchained today, can't wait!

Liamo_210 · January 5th, 2013, 07:14 AM

3D is only really worth it for certain movies. Such as a he hobbit. That realy was a great movie, I can't wait for the next 2.

breadnatty08 · January 5th, 2013, 07:24 AM

Never got to see Avatar in 3D but heard it was one of the best. Have to say, it doesn't do a whole lot for me anyway, especially when it's a post production "trick". But, The Avengers was decent in 3D as was Tron.

Liamo_210 · January 5th, 2013, 07:27 AM

Ye avatar in 3d was quite good.

Right now heading to school to finish some paperwork then I'll probably park my heels at a coffee shop for a while

argedion · January 7th, 2013, 08:35 PM

I have ton's of graphic files and trying to straighten them out is a lot of work. I am setting everything up by size and type so like if its a fantasy picture it's in a folder called fantasy and then in a folder that corresponds with its Width x Height. Mostly the WxH is new as I have been having trouble with setting up pics for wallpapers as they tend to be to small or way to big. I figured this system would help eliminate that.

How are you going about doing this? I'd do it using a combination of bash scripting plus ImageMagick commands. I process thousands of image files using this method and have saved incalculable hours...days!...over doing the same thing manually (or via a GUI

).

argedion · January 8th, 2013, 04:46 AM

I have completed the first one manually. I thought of a program to do it but I don't know anything about programming outside of vb6. That won't do me much good as this is a Linux machine

I've first ran Fslint to remove any duplicates that I may have. ( Great program unless the duplicates are of different sizes or something else is different) I then set up my folder structure and started *gulp* drag and drop. took me all day to do the one folder

I did find a few duplicates and was able to eliminate them.

If you have a better way then by all means share

Do you do any bash scripting? How are you at a command line? Pretty comfortable? Are you at all familiar with ImageMagick?

Quote:

What are you basing "duplicates" on? Name? Size? Size in pixels? Size in bytes? Date? Any/all of these can be ambiguous.

Which is why I'll *NEVER* be a full-blown GUI user!

I can do in seconds or minutes at a CLI what takes hours or days in a GUI.

How about adding their dimensions to their names instead? In other words, instead of having:

Code:

fantasy1 (a directory)

. fantasy1_3000x3000 (subdirectory)
.. picture1.jpeg
.. picture2.jpeg
.. picture3.jpeg

. fantasy1_3500x3500 (subdirectory)
.. picture1.jpeg
.. picture2.jpeg
.. picture3.jpeg

. fantasy1_4000x4000 (subdirectory)
.. picture1.jpeg
.. picture2.jpeg
.. picture3.jpeg


fantasy2 (a directory)

. fantasy2_3000x3000 (subdirectory)
.. picture1.jpeg
.. picture2.jpeg
.. picture3.jpeg

. fantasy2_3500x3500 (subdirectory)
.. picture1.jpeg
.. picture2.jpeg
.. picture3.jpeg

. fantasy2_4000x4000 (subdirectory)
.. picture1.jpeg
.. picture2.jpeg
.. picture3.jpeg

you could have:

Code:

. fantasy1 (a directory)
.. picture1_3000x3000.jpeg
.. picture2_3000x3000.jpeg
.. picture3_3000x3000.jpeg
.. picture1_3500x3500.jpeg
.. picture2_3500x3500.jpeg
.. picture3_3500x3500.jpeg
.. picture1_4000x4000.jpeg
.. picture2_4000x4000.jpeg
.. picture3_4000x4000.jpeg

. fantasy2 (a directory)
.. picture1_3000x3000.jpeg
.. picture2_3000x3000.jpeg
.. picture3_3000x3000.jpeg
.. picture1_3500x3500.jpeg

.. picture1_4000x4000.jpeg
.. picture2_4000x4000.jpeg
.. picture3_4000x4000.jpeg

The files could be renamed however you like, for example, 3000x3000_picture1.jpeg or picture1_3000.jpeg, etc.

Combining bash commands with ImageMagick commands, all of the above could be accomplished quickly. IM has a zillion options, literally infinite when you're combining them, and there's definitely a learning curve, especially if you're not already pretty comfortable at a command line with basic *nix usage.

Using IM's identify command, here's an example of it determining an image's attributes--only the attributes I told it to identify, its width and height:

Code:

$ identify -format "%wx%h" pg7.png
638x877

Taking that output and using a little bash and a little IM, you could rename the files so they include the dimensions in their names.

Like I said, there's definitely a learning curve, but I can't stress strongly enough how useful IM is once you're used to it. I'd be lost without its power and versatility. I can literally process hundreds of image files, in any number of ways, in a VERY small fraction of the time it would take to do it manually. Take a look at ImageMagick, including some of its options to see how powerful it is.

awesome but i cheated some and had a friend help me with a bash script that uses exiftool

#!/bin/bash
#
#-----------------------------------------------
# organized pictures by resolution
# 9to5 - AndroidForums.com
#-----------------------------------------------
#
# Note, this script uses exiftool to find the picutre width/height
# and it will only work with one file type at a time (so far)... 
# if you want to change the file type (to say, png) then change the 
# *.jpg to *.png in line 17

# set dir to your picture directory
dir=./
typ=$1

# file type change here 
for line in $(ls *.$typ)
do
	psize=$(exiftool $line | grep "Image Size" | cut -d ":" -f 2 | cut -d " " -f 2)
	# That will give use the resolution of the file...  example : 900x600 as variable psize		
	ls $psize 1>/dev/null
	ls_check=$?
	if [[ $ls_check -eq 0 ]]
	then
		mv $line $psize 1>/dev/null
	else
		mkdir $psize
		mv $line $psize 1>/dev/null
	fi	
	
done

#unset variables
unset {line,psize,ls_check}

it has a few flaws but does work maybe we can come up with something. At moment filenames with spaces are a no no so i'll have to rename those that have spaces in them. Also as you can see can only do one type at a time still much faster than the manual way i did the first one.

on the fedora site my signature is Command Line Flunkie Gui Junkie

I wish to change this

argedion · January 8th, 2013, 06:29 PM

what is the easiest way to rename files by just removing the spaces in the name?

Taking the time to learn bash scripting yourself would be *SO* worth it in the long run. You really can't appreciate the built-in power of *nix until you see what you can do with its basic tools.

Quote:

Want to do them all at once? Like in a few seconds?

This will change spaces in file names to underscores.

Code:

#!/bin/bash

ls > /tmp/current_files
mv /tmp/current_files ./current_files
cat current_files | tr ' ' '_' > current_files_new
FileCount=$(wc -l current_files | awk '{print $1}')
count=1
while   [ "$count" -le "$FileCount" ]
do 	ReadAwk="FNR=="$count
	OldName=$(awk $ReadAwk current_files)
	NewName=$(awk $ReadAwk current_files_new)
	mv "$OldName" "$NewName" > /dev/null 2>&1
	count=$(($count+1))
done
rm current_files
rm current_files_new
exit 0

DISCLAIMER: I referred to some old notes, wrote this quickly, tested it quickly, didn't waste time documenting or making it elegant--but it works. However, for your own comfort it'd be best to try it in a temporary directory with COPIES of the files you're working with. Then you can verify that it's working as expected, without risking losing anything or messing things up somehow. Also, if you're unsure what any part of it is doing, feel free to ask!

Quote:

Also as you can see can only do one type at a time

My suggested way (bash scripting plus ImageMagick) wouldn't limit you like that, because IM can determine the file type on its own. But for right now, if it's working out okay, just stick with it.

LOL Oceansbreeze! How true! !!! Lets see what argedion sez (he could be jooced up on some korn squeezns and running loose!)

Yup we are sittn pretty here in TX too. no snow but plenty rain. We get LA's weather in a weekly cycle , so if you're still getting rain, then that's what we have to look forward to next week.

argedion · February 10th, 2013, 01:55 PM

all the cold weather is going north of here. so no much chance snow here. It's been a very mild winter for us down in South Georgia. Most of the rain you are getting starts going north over here so we have missed a bunch of that as well. We need some good rain around here.

ok so i just had a birthday and i obviously did not work out that day. i also missed working out the previous day as well. so coming into the gymn today i was a little bit worried that i might have lost a step or two.........nope. i always go for running on the eliptical and i keep track of my time and distance. and so today i almost beat my best time. i was off by a second, but that is not bad considering. i felt so good that i might go up one tomorrow on resistance.

on a new note i need to start looking for another job. i work as a line cook for a Hawaiian fusion restaurant. i just need to branch out and try new cuisines and new things. And i need to update my resume as well.....i hate doing those.

anways......hope y'all are keeping warm from the late winters storms some of you are getting.....if it helps, here in LA it has been in the 70's and it might get into the 80's this weekend

Great, isn't it?

Here in the lovely San Gabriel Valley, we're supposed to be in the mid 80s in the next few days. My best friend, currently living in North Carolina, gets sick of me rubbing in how great it is here while she's dealing with snow and below freezing temperatures.
