possible to mass-convert images #10

Closed Vortetty closed 4 years ago

Is there a way to mass convert images using this? trying https://github.com/dvdtho/python-photo-mosaic but it is looking at around 1.72374429224 years (incorrect math) 6.291666 days per image and i have over 900 images. i mostly need a way to run this and have it replace the file it has converted.

That isn't supported directly, but you could write a shell script to call this utility once for each image in your batch

but it is looking at around 6.291666 days per image and i have over 900 images.

You can adjust this parameter to reduce processing time

This is easy to achieve, particularly if you are using a shell script as described above, one the mosaic image is complete just rename it so that it overwrites the original image

@codebox ok! how does the script actually start itself once called? i have a script in python that calls a fork of this but if i can modify the script to run this, that will be easier than dos/bash scripting.

never mind, i figured it out. definitely nice to have it use all but one core.
