I've got around 1000 swf (I even got the fla's) files I'd need to convert to any image (jpg, gif, png ...) with the only solution to save the fla as image at the moment. Not helpful with that amount.
Is there any command line tool I'd be able to use? I'm on Windows 7 or Ubuntu.
Already searched for a bunch of tools but they only convert one file at a time or have to be purchased.
Sidenote: the swf's aren't animated, just static pictures
Found a solution and want to share it:
I used sfwtools, which I installed with:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:guilhem-fr/swftools
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install swftools
Created a bash script using gedit (let's say it's called convertswf)
#!/bin/bash
for file in *.swf;
do
swfrender "$file" -o "$file.png"
done
or use this extended version if you have swf files in subfolders:
#!/bin/bash
for file in $(find "path/to/directory" -name '*.swf');
do
swfrender "$file" -o "$file.png"
done
finally did:
chmod +x convertswf
./convertswf
hope it helps!

i have a access to a Ubuntu server and a macOS installation
I’ve searched only but haven’t found anything
install imagemagick and rename
sudo apt install imagemagick rename
go in the folder to be safe
cd /dir/with/pngs
convert them all in a for/do/done loop
for png in $(ls -1 *.png); do
convert "$png" "${png/png/jpg}"
done

wget -E -H -k -K -p -e robots=off -P ./images/ -i./list.txt
./list.txt: No such file or directory
No URLs found in ./list.txt.
Converted links in 0 files in 0 seconds.
I downloaded and installed brew. Further, I installed wget and it's letting me download images one image at a time. However, when I tried the aforementioned command to download images from multiple urls, it's not doing anything. Can someone tell me what I could be doing wrong here?
wget is pretty lucid with description of issue
./list.txt: No such file or directory
apparently there is not file named list.txt inside current dir. Please trying giving full path to list.txt.
I am creating a dmg file and getting following error while using the icns and png files..
Here is the command:
DeRez -only icns resources/test.icns > icns.rsrc
Error:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/DeRez - SysError
-39 during open of resource file "resources/test.icns"
Mac OS version: macOS mojave 10.14.2
Please suggest.
Encountered this just now as well and noticed this question has gone unanswered, even though it's fairly simple.
Apparently error -39 means end of file, I'm assuming this means it wasn't able to find a valid portion of expected data. I'm guessing you (like myself) used sips -i someicon.icns to set the file's icon to itself? You should've gotten an error --addIcon is no longer supported which to me means that it didn't actually set the icon. So a subsequent DeRez call to get a .rsrc out of it will fail.
I didn't want to install any extra stuff but luckily I found another answer on here that seems to use only standard Xcode and/or macOS tools. In my case I was trying to set an AppleScript-exported .app icon, but the actual conversion part should be the same regardless.
So, all the steps to go from .png to an actual icon for an .app file:
cd /some/application/dir/some.app/Contents/Resources
cp /some/assets/dir/myicon.png ./
# Convert png to icns
# Keep in mind that sips can allegedly only handle 256x256, 512x512 and 1024x1024 PNGs for this
# Otherwise you need to do something like the following first:
# sips -z 256 256 myicon.png --out myicon_resized.png
# Then check if it came out good and run:
# mv -f myicon_resized.png myicon.png
# Now let's actually convert it and remove the png as it's no longer needed
sips -s format icns myicon.png --out myicon.icns
rm -fv myicon.png
# Apparently you can also specify commands of some sort in .rsrc files (this is the part I needed from the other SO answer)
# This is used in place of DeRez
echo "read 'icns' (-16455) \"myicon.icns\";" > myicon.rsrc
# Now just use Rez to append it to the special icon file in the root of the .app dir
Rez -append myicon.rsrc -o $'../../Icon\r'
# Write the metadata indicating we want to use the Icon\r file for the app's icon
# I could just use ../../ for the path but I like to be explicit
SetFile -a C ../../../some.app
# Also hide said file from Finder views
SetFile -a V $'../../Icon\r'
I haven't tried setting custom icons for a .dmg file, but I guess you already know how to "apply" the .rsrc to it anyways. =]
I'll try to make this as short as possible.
I have a folder that contains 9000 images (almost). But the extension of these images is png. I would like to change the extension of all these images in one command so they all become .jpg
If someone knows a way to do that can you please share it?
Thank you for your help.
If they are PNG images that you are trying to turn into jpgs, I'd recommend installing Imagemagick (via homebrew), and using the "mogrify" command to change them (see https://www.imagemagick.org/script/mogrify.php):
magick mogrify -format jpg *.png
If they are all actually jpegs, and you've ended up with the wrong file extension, you can do something like:
ls | grep \.png$ | sed 'p;s/\.png/\.jpg/' | xargs -n2 mv
See: Batch renaming files in command line and Xargs (even though it's linux, these tools are all available in the OSX default install)
I did it by using a virtual machine (Windows)
In the cmd I used this command : ren *.* *.jpg and it worked. Although I guess on Mac it's a bit harder.
When trying to add annotations to images in ImageMagick, It failed with the following message:
convert: unable to read font `(null)' # error/annotate.c/RenderFreetype...
How do I make Imagemagick find these fonts?
The solution that worked for me was given by Neville in this post:
Create an imagemagick configuration folder: mkdir ~/.magick
Save this Perl script as /tmp/script.pl
Make the script executable: chmod +x /tmp/script.pl
Run the script locally and redirect the output to the file type.xml in ~/.magick: /tmp/script.pl > ~/.magick/type.xml
This solved the fonts problem, while installing fondu, the imagemagick pkg file and some other tricks didn't.
Great! Now I can annotate some flickr cats with the image size and resolution (I want this for finding the optimal resolution for an app I'm working on).
Adopting Adam Matan's answer, here's how I got this to work with imagemagick 7+ on macOS 10.12+ installed with homebrew. (This also assumes you have perl installed.)
Download the perl script and save it to /usr/local/bin/imagick_type_gen
Make the script executable:
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/imagick_type_gen
Find the font path for imagemagick by running convert -list font | grep Path. This should return where imagemagick is looking for fonts. The Apple path for me was this:
/usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/7.0.7-22/etc/ImageMagick-7/type-apple.xml
Run imagick_type_gen and direct the output to the path above:
imagick_type_gen > /usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/7.0.7-22/etc/ImageMagick-7/type-apple.xml
Run convert -list font | less to see the font names imagemagick will use, e.g., some fonts will be labeled as GeorgiaB instead of Georgia Bold. (hit q to quit)
imagemagick should now see the fonts you have installed on the your system.
The easiest way to solve this issue is copying the font you need to a ~/ folder, or anywhere your script is, then give the direct path:
convert -font "~/MyFont.ttc"
