sorting images by dimension in Fedora 11
 
My Friends,

Please excuse me if it seems like I'm wasting your time, but I'd like to take a second to thank you all for your support and patience during my transition to linux. I couldn't have done it without this forum.

Anyway, what I'm looking to do is rather simple, and I'm embarrassed I need to ask which program to use to do this. I run KDE and dolphin doesn't give me any options in folders full of images to sort by dimension. I just want to skim out all the ones that are 1280 by 1024 or larger. Is there a command for this?

you can see here for similar example, change the values as needed

I appreciate your help, but this didn't work for me. I copied the command, put in the appropriate directory, and hit enter but nothing happened. I also don't know what the appropriate command would be as I don't want to resiwe them, just move them if they're over a certain size.

that full script is for RESIZING images using imagemagick
the part ghostdog74 is talking about is
Code:
  if ( arr[1] > 200 && arr[2] > 200 ) {
part where 200 is the image size

you need to wright your own script to select images bigger than 1024

PS. DO NOT GO AROUND AND RUN RANDOM SCRIPTS posted by people one of them just might have you deleting your OS like this "rm -f / "

i said its similar, i did not say its exactly what you want. you just want to skim out the dimensions right? so the if() statement does just that. change the values as needed. if you want to move them, just do
Code:
if ( ... ) {
  cmd = "mv "$1" /destination"
  system(cmd)
}

only if they have the naive assumption that everything works exactly if they cut and paste, and are too lazy to read the source code and understand what it does.

its already written and discussed in computer security books and published to the whole world.

true but i think it is one of the baned things on the forum

i am getting way off topic

he will still need ImageMagick installed so that "-identify" can be used

any tool that reads images and get their meta is fine. Its just that i have ImageMagick with me, hence the solution. if OP wants, he can even program in languages like Perl or Python and install modules specifically for that.
