1/26 Is there any command line utility that returns the width and height
dimensions of an image file, specifically .jpg & .gif?
\_ file foo.gif --dbushong
\_ Seems like it only prints the width and height of .gif files
but not .jpg files. Why? -- yuen
\_ Well, someone keeps deleting this, but again:
perldoc Image::Size. If that's too tricky,
~dbushong/bin/imgsize --dbushong
\_ Because someone like you didn't take the time to rewrite
it to do so. What's up with everyone expecting everything
to be pre-written to do exactly what they need? Do it
yourself, sheesh.
\_ Because chances are someone has written something to
do what you want. Why reinvent the wheel? And why
suppose the person has the time or knowledge to
accomplish the task?
\_ To ask if someone else has done it is differant than
asking why they haven't. One is a query, the latter
is a whine. I don't suppose they have the time or
skill. I object to the whining not the desire to have
a feature.
\_ Well, since it knows to look into the file content to
find out if a file with no ".jpg" extension is a
JPEG file, I would think it also knows to look into the
JPEG file content to get the width and height. -- yuen
\_ Because the author didn't need this function and you
didn't add it.
\_ Well, someone keeps deleting this, but again: perldoc
Image::Size. If that's too tricky, ~dbushong/bin/imgsize
