identify
from Command Line FTW!I cannot say enough about how amazing ImageMagick (identify
) is for
dealing with images from bash and the command line. Have a look at this
example of converting a screenshot into a uniquely identified image file
name with the dimensions included and the time the file was created:
_figure_name() {
_checkdep identify
identify -format "F$(date -u +%Y%m%d%H%M%S -r "$1")-%G.%e" "$1"
}

That’s it. A thing of UNIX beauty.
