Bash script converts jpeg in Debian, won't work in Puppy.

[oli]

Hi,
I've got a shellscript running errorless with Debian (bash). Now I want to start the same script with rxvt and I get an error. This is the command that causes the error:

sh-3.00# convert -resize 120x120 /mnt/hdc1/bilder/test.jpg
convert: missing an image filename `/mnt/hdc1/bilder/test.jpg'.

Why do I get this message? I tried several quotation marks but nothing works. Can someone give me a help.

Some additional informations:

sh-3.00# which convert
/usr/bin/convert
sh-3.00# convert --version
Version: ImageMagick 6.2.9 08/15/06 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org
Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2006 ImageMagick Studio LLC

The original part of the shell script is:

convert -geometry ${groesse}% -quality $qualitaet $datei $THUMB/$datei

you must specify a output-filename:
convert -resize 120x120 1.jpg 1-new.jpg

Maybe this is old (?):

http://amath.colorado.edu/computing/sof ... nvert.html

They list -size and -geometry as an option, not -resize.

sh-3.00# convert -resize 120x120 /mnt/hdc1/bilder/test.jpg
convert: missing an image filename `/mnt/hdc1/bilder/test.jpg'.

Do you have something mounted at hdc?

If the image is in a CD and you mounted it with MUT, it usually mounts to /mnt/hdc.

The bottom line is: Use rox to navigate where the file is and make sure that you are using exactly the same location when you call the script.

Thanks for your answers. Of course the filename is correct (I use the tabulator to complete the names of directories and filenames). And convert -resize is a valid command too. I used this command only as an example, my command in the shell-script uses -geometry and -quality. And this command works with Debian Bash-Shell without an error. The error must have another cause.

Here is the error-message with the -geometry option:

sh-3.00# convert -geometry 10% /mnt/hdc1/bilder/test.jpg /mnt/hdc1/bilder/test2.jpg
convert: no decode delegate for this image format `/mnt/hdc1/bilder/test.jpg'.
convert: missing an image filename `/mnt/hdc1/bilder/test2.jpg'.

I use puppy2.10r1 .

Do you have another idea?

you might try one of these dotpups, they work for me.
For example 6.2.3

sh-3.00# convert -geometry 10% 1.jpg test2.jpg
sh-3.00#

The 6.2.4 can not be uninstalled, I think I had used it before for tests.
Later installed 6.2.3, that overwrote 6.2.4.

I tried 6.2.4 and 6.2.3 too. But the error occur again. Therefore I decided to make a new dotpup of imagemagick, based on the stable version of Debian (imagemagick 6.0.6.2-2.7). Now everything seems to work. I posted this dotpup in the forum (additional software):
