#!/bin/csh
# script:~ unloadpanasonic, thanks to Cees Bassa
cd /media/*/DCIM
cp -uprv *PANA ~/photos/panasonic/origs
foreach dir (*PANA)
cd $dir
chmodopen
chfil JPG jpg
jhead -n%y%m%d-%H%M%S-%f -autorot *.jpg

end
setenv TODAY `date "+20%y-%m-%d"`
mkdir -p $TODAY
mv *_PANA/* $TODAY
rmdir *_PANA
rm -rf /media/*/DCIM/\*
where [install: jhead] is used to redefine photo filenames starting
with date-time. They go into an panasonic/origs subdirectory
with the present unload date as name. I run similar scripts for other
cameras so that merging their files puts all photographs in sequential
time order (if the camera clocks were synchronous; in group travel one
should ask everybody to reset their camera to local time, but if this
was not done one can readjust the exif time stamps afterwards with the
jhead -ta and jhead -da options). Script chmodopen
resets directory and file protections in the current directory and
underneath to read permission for others:
#!/bin/sh
# script:~ chmodopen, from Wim Lavrijsen
chmod 755 .
find . -maxdepth 10 -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
find . -maxdepth 10 -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
of which the reverse chmodclose has
chmod settings 600 and 700. Script chfil modifies
filenames in the current directory by replacing filename parts:
#!/bin/csh
# script:~ chfil, by Alfred de Wijn
foreach file (*$1*)
mv ${file} `echo ${file} | sed -e "s|$1|$2|g"`
end
and has a counterpart chfildeep to do so also
in underlying directories:
#!/bin/csh # script:~ chfildeep, by Alfred de Wijn find . -mxdepth 10 -type f -name "*$1*" | sed -e "s/\(.*\)$1\(.*\)/mv \1$1\2 \1$2\2/" | bashAfter manually weeding out bad photos in the
origs dir with
qiv, I use the following script to produce XVGA (1024x768)
versions for spreading and projection in another directory:
!/bin/csh
# file:~ panasonicconvertall
# usage:~ panasonicconvertall dir/filenamestart
foreach file (*.jpg)
setenv FILETAIL `echo $file | sed -e "s|.jpg||"`
convert -linear-stretch 0.1%x0.1% -sharpen 2.0x2.0 -geometry x768 -quality 90 $file ${1}${FILETAIL}-NS.jpg
end
ImageMagick
used by convert has lots of worthwhile commands, e.g.,
convert -sigmoidal-contrast which emulates the nonlinear
growth-curve response of photographic emulsions that made my
Kodachrome slides span large contrasts much better than digital
projection does. For example, convert -sigmoidal-contrast 3,0%
brightens too dark objects.
I then use [Install: album] from
http://marginalhacks.com/Hacks/album
to generate clicker albums like
my travel albums
and
the DOT solar image album
and
the DOT photograph album
with:
album -clean -index album.html -no_image_pages -no_embed
-geometry 300x300 -no_crop -columns 3 .
generating captions with a file captions.txt.
Movies.
[Install: mplayer] gives you the best movie player around. I made
applications such as acroread use mplayer by going to Places > Home
folder, <find a .mov or .mpg>, right-click > properties > open with >
add > use a custom command > specify loopmplayer, check the
bullet. Movies then open full-screen and repeat until you quit with
q. The script loopmplayer gives infinite looping that becomes
seamless by putting -loop 0 after the file specification:
#!/bin/csh # script:~ loopmplayer = play movie full-screen looping mplayer -fs $1 -loop 0I call movies in pdflatex with (for example):
\def\movie{/home/USER/PATH-TO-MOVIE}
\def\figs{/home/USER/PATH-TO-FIGS}
\href{run:\movie/movie.mov}
{\epsfig{file=\figs/movie-snap.jpg,width=180mm}}}
where I obtain the clickable image movie-snap.jpg as a snap
from album. I also use album to add .avi and .mov
versions of solar .mpg movies made with IDL from DOT image sequences
to the DOT movie album at
http://www.staff.science.uu.nl/~rutte101/dot/albums/movies/album.html
with:
#!/bin/csh # script:~ dotmovie2album = convert .mpg movie into .avi and .mov # params:~ $1 = desired fps (f.s) playing rate, $2 = filename.mpg ffmpeg -sameq -i $2 $2:gr.avi avifix -f $1,1 -i $2:gr.avi ffmpeg -sameq -i $2:gr.avi $2:gr.mov mv $2:gr.avi ../dot-albums/movies mv $2:gr.mov ../dot-albums/movies cd ../dot-albums/movies album -clean -index album.html -no_embed -geometry 400x400 -no_crop -columns 2 .needing [install: ffmpeg] and [install: transcode] which contains
avifix. They may need non-free codecs from the medibuntu repository:
sudo echo "deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ jaunty free non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install non-free-codecsThe
.mov versions play even in the simplest
QuickTime players.
Grep manual. I often use a special alias rr meaning
"Rob-asks-Rob-a-question":
alias rr 'grep \!^ ~/manuals/rrmanual.txt'
which answers my questions "rr some-term" such as
"rr chmod".
File rrmanual.txt has many one-liner linux reminders to myself,
including:
