Self-hatred

[Bash] Prep version 3

I use a fairly basic script that formats pictures, uploads them via Dropbox, and inserts paste-ready HTML code into my clipboard. With some minor modifications this script can be used on Linux, Windows (Cygwin), or OS X. Taking a break from animating sprites, I wanted to improve this script, in order to reduce my work. Currently I have to create the folder, move the images into it, and rename them appropriately. Really, fuck that. The first step is an epic onethree-liner (I will unpack it) that outputs the average number of unique image files per folder in my Dropbox/content/ folder:

#!bin/bash

# Returns the average number of files.

COUNT=0 

for FOLDER in ./*; do 
	# Aggregate $COUNT with the unique images in each folder.
	COUNT=`expr $COUNT + $(ls $FOLDER/*.jpg 2>/dev/null | wc -l)`
done 

# Return an average by dividing count by the total folders within this one.
echo `expr $COUNT / $(ls -1 | wc -l)`

From this I get:

[Mark][content] # ./av.sh
2

So eh, with that exercise out of the way, I revised the script. You invoke it with: prep $FOLDER $FILE1 $FILE2 $FILE3 ...

#!/bin/bash

# Destination Dropbox folder.
PUB=/cygdrive/c/Users/Mark/Dropbox/Public/content/
# Dropbox DUID.
DUID=4144919
# Thumbnail folder.
MED=m
# Temp file for output into clipboard.
TMP=.tmp
# Images are are renamed numerically.
COUNT=0

# First arg must be the folder.
if [ ! -d $1 ]
then
	mkdir -p $1/$MED
fi

# You can add up to six images at a time.
# My average per folder is 2.3, so this is plenty /for me/.
for i in $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9 $10
do 
	COUNT=`expr $COUNT + 1`
	cp $i $1/$COUNT.jpg
done

cd $1

# Copy and resize images appropriately.
cp ./*jpg $MED

mogrify -quality 90 -resize 1000x+0+0 ./*.jpg
mogrify -quality 90 -resize 540x+0+0 m/*

for i in $(seq 1 $COUNT)
do
	# Echo this string into the temp file, modified for each image.
	echo <a title=\"CHANGE ME\" href=\"http://dl.dropbox.com/u/$DUID/content/$1/$i.jpg\">
	<img src=\"http://dl.dropbox.com/u/$DUID/content/$1/m/$i.jpg\" alt=\"\" /></a> >> $TMP
done

# Send the assembled string to the Windows clipboard.
cat $TMP | putclip
rm $TMP

mv $(pwd) $PUB
