Mass conversion of images
by Mostafa on May.07, 2007, under How To ..., LaTeX, Linux, Software
The following “one-liner” can be used to mass convert a given image format into another using the convert (part of ImageMagick) and basename tools:
$ for A in $(ls *.$SRC_TYPE); do convert $A $(basename $A .$SRC_TYPE).$DST_TYPE; done
where $SRC_TYPE is the file suffix of the original images (e.g. png) and $DST_TYPE is the file suffix of the type desired (e.g. eps).
